158 of 159 Georgia Counties Certify Election

All but one of Georgia's 159 counties have certified their election results.

Secretary of State's office spokeswoman Candice Broce said in an email that only Gwinnett County had not yet certified its results by midday Wednesday.

The deadline for counties to certify their results was 5 p.m. Tuesday.

But a federal judge on Tuesday ordered Gwinnett County not to reject absentee ballots solely because the elector's year of birth was missing or incorrect. She ordered Gwinnett election officials not to certify the results until all those absentee ballots had been tallied.

The state has until Nov. 20 to do the final certification of the election results. A federal judge on Monday ordered the secretary of state not to do the final certification before 5 p.m. Friday.
