..........Certification, an administrative task that involves certifying the number of votes, has become a political battleground since then-President Donald Trump tried to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 general election. Republicans in several swing states, including Adams, refused to certify results earlier this year, and some have sued to keep from being forced to sign off on election results.

Democrats and some voting rights groups have worried that Trump’s allies could refuse to certify election results if he loses to Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in next month’s presidential election

McBurney wrote in his order that nothing in Georgia law allows county election officials to determine that fraud has occurred or what should be done about it. Any concerns they have should be noted and shared with appropriate authorities for criminal prosecution or as the basis to challenge an election in court, but they cannot be used as justification not to certify, he wrote.

Adams’ notice of appeal says McBurney’s suggestion that county officials can address their concerns through election challenges in court is “improper and insufficient” for her “if she finds fraud and abuse.”
