It really helps us out. A Georgia court just today has issued a ruling

and it's a doozy. It's a bombshell. They will not allow a county in their state to not certify an election

This means if the people in charge of the election have questions about its veracity

if there was any election interference, if there was any fake voting, if there are questions, the court is forcing them to certify the election anyway

This is a crippling blow to the Republican side who wants to be able to say

look, there was some stuff here that didn't look right, and we want to look into this, you want to examine this

Now, you're going to hear the judge's take on this and why he did this

and I understand his position too. So, you know, you don't want to give a lot of power to a very small amount of people

but at the same time there has to be a mechanism for challenging something that may look erroneous

You can't just force them to certify. Well, I guess you can if you're the judge. I don't know if this is going to be appealed

I would assume it is. But I want you to listen to this report because this is just coming down right now

So we just got this in. I want you to hear this report. And then let me know what you think in the comments And good morning to everyone you are live at a CNN newsroom I Pamela Brown in Washington We actually have a lot of news to get to beyond the pandas

And we begin this hour with breaking news from Georgia. A judge issued a major ruling this morning on the first day of early voting in the important battleground state

The ruling says the county election officials in Georgia cannot delay or decline to certify election results

CNN's Nick Valencia is in Atlanta for us. So Nick, this ruling is significant in a blow

to some of the conservatives pushing to have more autonomy over the election results

And we were anticipating this ruling, still waiting on another big one related to certification

But Judge Robert McBurney with the Fulton County Superior Court sending a very clear message that certification is mandatory

This lawsuit stemming from one from a Julie Adams, she is a Fulton County Board of Elections worker, or she's on the board of elections

and she made news this past spring by refusing to certify the presidential primary results

But Judge McBurney sending that message in his ruling saying, quote, if election superintendents were as plaintiff urges free to play investigator, prosecutor, jury, and judge

and so because of a unilateral determination of error or fraud, refused to certify election results

Georgia voters would be silenced. Our Constitution and our election code do not allow for that to happen

I mentioned that other certification ruling were anticipating. Democrats had sued the state over what they call the certification rule

which they said empowers potentially. rogue county elections officials to refuse from certifying results

They say that could cascade into a bigger problem that we would potentially not know who won

the 2024 election. If it comes down to Georgia, as it was consequential in the 2020 election, here behind me

you see the energy here related to the first day of early voting

We just checked in with the Secretary of State's office. They said they're sitting at 72,000 check-in, so it's record

I'm
