ATLANTA – All Voting is Local Georgia State Director Kristin Nabers issued the following statement in response to the Tuesday ruling by a Fulton County judge that certification is mandatory and election officials cannot delay or deny the process:
“Georgia voters won today against a shameless attempt from a prominent election denier who tried to turn the long-standing, routine duty of certification into a discretionary decision for election officials when they don’t like the election results. Today’s ruling confirmed that certifying elections in Georgia is a mandatory democratic duty of election officials, who don’t get to override the will of the people by holding certification hostage.
“The judge’s decision gives Georgia voters much-deserved validation and confirms that there are systems in place to protect the voices of all Georgians. Election officials do not decide the results. Voters do.”
