Georgia GOP election official appeals decision mandating vote certification

A Republican Georgia election official filed an emergency appeal Wednesday after a county judge ruled election officials must certify election results by the legal deadline.

Adams initially filed suit seeking declaratory judgment, arguing she was "entitled to 'full access' to what she has identified as 'election materials.'" 

The order also stated that officials may investigate their concerns alongside related documents so long as "any delay in receiving such information is not a basis for refusing to certify the election results or abstaining from doing so."

The remedy Adams is appealing states that members are not left without "recourse or the means to voice substantive concerns about an election outcome," saying that such contests "arise after the ministerial act of certification." 

Election results must be certified by Georgia's individual counties by 5 p.m. the Monday or Tuesday after the race.
