Court Rules Election Board Must Certify Results

The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that certifying election results is a required duty for local elections officials, not a choice. This ruling comes from the dismissal of a lawsuit by Julie Adams, a Republican board member in Fulton County who refused to certify last year’s presidential primary results. The judges stated that concerns about fraud can’t justify refusing to certify election results. Additionally, the Georgia Supreme Court recently invalidated four out of seven rules changes made by the State Election Board before last November’s elections, stating they overstepped their authority.  Lawyers for the state, the Republican National Committee and the Georgia Republican Party countered that the board was within its legal rights to approve the new election rules, but the justices ruled unanimously that board members exceeded their rule making authority under the Georgia Constitution.
