Arrested or sued?

A county certifying the results of the election in their county is a ministerial act.

quote:

In United States law, a ministerial act is a government action "performed according to legal authority, established procedures or instructions from a superior, without exercising any individual judgment." It can be any act a functionary or bureaucrat performs in a prescribed manner, without exercising any individual judgment or discretion.


Think of something like a Notary Public notarizing a document or a Clerk of Court entering a court order.
