Why Was A Manual Vote Count Legally Stopped in 2024 Pennsylvania Election?

Found this emergency petition filed 11/5/2024 by the Director of the Fayette County Bureau of Elections. It is a petition demanding that the Washington Township Judge of Elections be forbidden to conduct a manual hand count of the ballots.

It further states that should the Judge of Elections try and carry out the hand count, that all election materials will be immediately removed and the Sheriff's office would assist with removing the Judge from the building.

Does anyone have a valid explanation why you would file legal papers to stop a hand count, other than the obvious nefarious reasons?

I have been doing a lot of research into the Pennsylvania ballots since the ol' "Those Counting Machines" statement.

I have also found the report of all the voting machine malfunction reports that were filed for the 2024 election for each county in Pennsylvania. These reports are eye-opening. Is there anyone who can help me organize this info or who would be interested in looking over the patterns too, as it's a lot of data?

For Fayette County, there were no reported voting machine malfunctions. However, I've been tracking a trend when comparing the 2012 election (pretrumpera) to 2024.

EVERY COUNTY in Pennsylvania saw a DRAMATIC increase in the number of Republican voters (thus votes) while EVERY COUNTY saw very marginal increases in Democratic voters, and often times saw a decrease. This happened even in mostly democratic counties like Philadelphia.

In 2012 Fayette County In 2024 Fayette County

ROMNEY, MITT (REP) Votes: 26,018 DONALD J TRUMP (REP) Votes: 43,633 OBAMA, BARACK (DEM) Votes: 21,971 KAMALA D HARRIS (DEM) Votes: 19,548

Like I said, this pattern is in every PA county when comparing 2012 to 2024.
