Judge Halts PA Certifying Election Results

A Pennsylvania appeals court judge has ordered state officials on Wednesday to halt any further steps toward certifying election results. The ruling comes a day after Gov. Tom Wolf said he had certified Democrat Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election in Pennsylvania. Wolf’s administration quickly asked the state Supreme Court to block the ruling from taking effect, saying there was no ‘conceivable justification’ for it. Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia McCullough, a Republican, had issued the order. It wasn’t immediately clear if she hoped to hold up the certification of state and local contests on the ballot or interrupt the scheduled Dec. 14 meeting of the state’s 20 electors.
