On November 19,2020,Grimberg threw out a lawsuit brought by a Trump supporter concerning the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Grimberg found that the plaintiff asserting fraud and improprieties in the election lacked standing to sue,waited too long after the election to file their case,and otherwise demonstrated "no basis in fact or in law" for blocking certification of Joe Biden's narrow victory over Trump in Georgia. [9] [10] [11] On August 5,2022,Grimberg ruled that holding statewide elections for a Georgia utility regulatory body discriminates against Black voters and delayed the elections scheduled for November to a later date.
