Puerto Rican judge's ruling could further delay certification of election votes past the deadline.

A recent ruling by a Puerto Rican judge may further delay the certification of votes from the November 5 general elections. The judge ordered early votes to be counted even if the postal address used to request them differs from the voter’s registration address, angering the opposition Popular Democratic Party, which plans to appeal. The certification process has already been delayed due to issues like increased write-in votes and errors in bedside ballots, with the deadline now pushed to December 26, though local law requires completion by December 31.
