Fulton County Judge Rules Georgia Election Officials Must Certify Results, Even if Fraud Suspected
Oct 15, 2024, 02:58 PM
A Georgia judge has ruled that county election officials must certify election results, even if they suspect fraud or errors. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney declared that the certification of election results is mandatory under Georgia law. The ruling specifies that no election superintendent or member of a board of elections and registration may refuse to certify or abstain from certifying election results under any circumstances. This decision is seen as a significant defeat for election deniers and a win for democracy advocates. The judge emphasized that concerns of fraud or abuse are to be settled in court, not by county officials acting unilaterally. The ruling also denied a voter registration extension request by the Georgia NAACP. The decision affects the 2024 presidential contest and addresses concerns related to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
