Lawsuits likely after handful of counties refuse to certify midterm resultsCounty board members in Arizona and Pennsylvania declined to certify the election results Monday, opening them up to lawsuits and court orders forcing them to sign off on the vote count in the coming days. The efforts to block certification in a few places is unlikely to derail any election winners from taking office.
