In August 2024, the Georgia State Election Board passed a controversial rule requiring counties to conduct a “reasonable inquiry” into vote totals before certifying election results. They “failed to define what constitutes a 'reasonable inquiry' and suggested [...] that such inquiries could justify failing to certify by that date (or any specific date).”

In addition, under Georgia’s SB202 law, the state election board has new powers to take over election administration in up to four counties it deems "underperforming," possibly stripping some county election boards of their power to certify elections and giving the state board discretion on whether to do so.

The deadline to certify county election results is November 13 at 5 pm (local time) according to the Secretary of State's website. Failing to certify results by that date could lead to legal challenges and political controversy.

Resolution Criteria:

This question will resolve to “YES” if any Georgia county fails to certify its 2024 general presidential election results by the state’s certification deadline, regardless of whether certification occurs later due to legal or administrative actions. Otherwise, it will resolve "NO".

The resolution will be based on credible news reports.
