You asked, On Politics answers: Election certification refusals? |
Got comments or questions? Send them in! Today, I'm answering: "How would refusals to certify election results be dealt with legally in 2024?" |
While there have been instances where some officials have refused to certify election results, the majority of results are certified. A USA TODAY review earlier this year found there have been at least three dozen incidents nationwide were local officials have delayed certifying or voted against certifying the results of an election. The races ranged from the presidency to school board. |
There are also several safeguards in place to certify the election results. For example, Congress in 2022 passed a law to make it clearer that the vice president cannot overturn an election result. | | | | The Pentagon said it would send a 'small number' of additional troops after Israeli strikes killed at least 274 in Lebanon. | | | | The scandal-ridden, Trump-endorsed GOP candidate who wants to be the next governor of North Carolina is staying in the race. | | | | Violent crime including murder, rape, assault and robbery declined in 2023. Crime rates have become a key issue in the 2024 presidential race. | | | | Voters in Arizona, North Carolina and Georgia give Trump a bump across the Sun Belt over concerns about the economy, abortion and immigration. | | | | As Election Day nears, record numbers of young voters are registering, inspired in part by Taylor Swift. | | | | | | | This 7-day newsletter course will help you be an informed voter before Nov. 5. | | | | | | | |
