Georgia’s Coffee County sent out a letter last week saying they couldn’t certify its results after a second recount, although the Georgia secretary of state’s office re-certified the results several days later.

“Any system, financial, voting, or otherwise, that is not repeatable nor dependable should not be used,” Coffee County Board of Election officials wrote in the letter to Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger. “To demand certification of patently inaccurate results neither serves the objective of the electoral system nor satisfies the legal obligation to certify the electronic recount.”
