Fulton judge says Georgia law requires county election officials to certify results


A Fulton County, Georgia judge ruled Tuesday that county election board members cannot refuse to certify election results.

Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney’s ruling clarifies that the state’s election certification law mandates that local election officials certify elections. The law has been challenged in several lawsuits, including a complaint filed by Republican Fulton County election board member Julie Adams, who refused to join her colleagues to certify the March presidential preference primary.
