=
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. 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.




Memberships


He has been a member of the Federalist Society from 1997 to 2004 and again since 2015. He was a member of the Republican Jewish Coalition from 2015 to 2016.
