AJC: Election certification in Georgia is mandatory, judge rules
Mark Neisse of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports on Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney’s ruling that counties are mandated to certify their results in the Georgia election.
Certifying elections is a required duty of county election boards in Georgia, and they’re not allowed to refuse finalizing results based on suspicions of miscounts or fraud, a Fulton County judge ruled Tuesday.
Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney rejected claims brought by Fulton County election board member Julie Adams, who voted against certifying this spring’s presidential primary.
