Georgia does not provide for double election boards, but does provide that “The superintendents may begin to count the votes at any time in their discretion, but they shall not do so until the polls are closed if a candidate in person or by written authority objects.” Polit. Code 1914, sec. 82 (6). A letter from the legislative reference department of the Georgia state library says “It is customary to count the votes upon the close of the polls.”
