In all, she said, her office checked 2,284 ballots since the polls closed Tuesday.

A local elections board certifying a race is typically a formality to what is usually a foregone conclusion. But this election has been anything but.

Lawsuits and accusations of voter fraud and suppression have swarmed close races in Georgia and nearby Florida.

The first question to Cobb elections head Janine Eveler here was about lawsuits in this Georgia midterm election. The county elections board just certified Cobb’s vote. @ajc @CobbNewsNow @PoliticallyGa #gapol pic.twitter.com/iBiMc0YMAM — Ben Brasch (@ben_brasch) November 12, 2018

Democrat Stacey Abrams got about 30,000 more votes than Republican Brian Kemp in Cobb, and the county voted Democratic in every statewide race even, though Kemp appears to have won the state. Kemp has started his transition to become governor, but Abrams has said she will fight until every vote is counted, filing lawsuits to make sure of that.

Eveler doesn’t anticipate any lawsuits filed over Cobb County’s results, “but I understand that that’s sort of where it’s going right now.”

No one showed up Monday at Cobb’s elections board meeting opposing or asking to delay the certification.

Eveler and her staff haven’t had a day off in two weeks and she hasn’t followed much of the news, “so I don’t know what’s out there, but we did the best that we can and if there are questions, we’ll answer them,” she said.

The rest of metro Atlanta’s core counties are set to certify their votes on Tuesday, the state mandated deadline.
