Georgia judge rules county election officials must certify vote results

Georgia law says county election superintendents 'shall' certify ballot results by 5 p.m. on the Monday after an vote.

A Georgia judge has ruled county election officials must certify election results by the deadline set in law and cannot exclude any group of votes from certification even if they suspect error or fraud. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled that “no election superintendent may refuse to certify or abstain from certifying election results under any circumstance.

” Long an administrative task that attracted little attention, certification of election results has become politicized since then-President Trump tried to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 general election. Republicans in several swing states, including Adams, refused to certify election results earlier this year, and some have sued to keep from being forced to sign off on election results.
