A Fulton County Superior Court Judge ruled on Tuesday that county election officials must certify vote counts in the upcoming election even if they suspect fraud or errors.
“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.
County election boards in Georgia are not allowed to refuse to certify election results, a state judge ruled on Tuesday.
Of course, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has made it clear that any lawyer who challenges vote fraud and abuse will be indicted and disbarred.
Our Constitution and our Election Code do not allow for that to happen,” Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney said in his order, according to NBC News.
McBurney said the law was clear when it says that county officials “shall” certify the results.
Concerns of fraud or abuse are to be settled in court, the judge said, not by county officials acting unilaterally.
