No State has taken more Pre-Election steps than Georgia, where Conspiratorial Republican Officials on the Georgia State Election Board have recently created a series of Unnecessary “Reforms” that might very well create Election-Administration Problems next month. That’s not, however, the only area of concern in the Peachtree State.
After the 2020 Elections, several Local Republican Election Board Members Refused to Certify Elections for a variety of assorted and Dubious reasons, and there are plenty of concerns that there will be related Tactics in this year’s cycle. It’s against this backdrop that a Georgia Judge issued a Ruling Rejecting this as a possibility.
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. McBurney ruled that Georgia Law requires Certification, and County Election Boards don’t have any Discretion not to do so.
“If election superintendents were, as plaintiff urges, free to play investigator, prosecutor, jury, and judge and so — because of a unilateral determination of error or fraud — refuse to certify election results, Georgia voters would be silenced,” McBurney wrote. “Our Constitution and our election code do not allow for that to happen.”
In other words, there might be Legitimate Questions in some areas in some Elections, but as the State Judge explained, it’s Not up to Local Election Boards to Adjudicate those Questions.
It’s a big deal that McBurney ruled that Georgia Law requires Certification, and the matter is Not Discretionary for Members of Local Election Boards.
