Swing states prepare for a showdown over certifying votes in November. Over the past four years, some county officials in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania have refused to certify certain elections seemingly because they didn’t like who voters elected. After immense pressure, county officials either agreed to certify results, or courts or state officials had to step in. 🇺🇸
