“Today is an important day for fair elections in Georgia and across the country,” Ravensberger said in a statement. “Georgians can now move forward knowing that their vote, and only their legal vote, has been counted with accuracy, integrity and reliability.”
Earlier in the day, Ravensburger said the results “will remain unchanged” and directly criticized Trump for spreading the lies.
“Continuing to make false allegations about election theft is detrimental to our state,” Ravensberger said. “The president has both his due process rights and those available to him. It is time for us all to focus on the future and growth.”
On Monday, a federal judge in Georgia rejected two requests from attorney Sydney Powell to reverse the state’s election results.
Judge Timothy Patten ruled from court after nearly an hour of wrangling: “The plaintiffs are not competent to bring these cases.”
Patten also revoked a temporary restraining order that prevented election officials from wiping the most recent election data from Dominion voting machines in the Cope, Gwinnett and Cherokee counties. Georgia election officials said the machines will be necessary for the early vote that begins next week before the January 5 Senate run-off.
