Georgia Election Officials Barred From Delaying 2024 Results.

A judge in Georgia ruled that county election officials cannot refuse to certify the results of the 2024 presidential contest, rejecting a case brought by a Republican member of the Fulton County Board of Elections. The lawsuit is part of multiple legal challenges in the state regarding the upcoming election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The judge emphasized that election officials have a ministerial duty to certify the outcome and cannot refuse to do so under any circumstances. The decision was seen as a win by the plaintiff and her attorneys, who highlighted the importance of election officials receiving certain election records promptly. [Extracted from the article]
