    I’m not sure what the problem is here.

    If they are supposed to certify results, then wouldn’t that mean they also have the ability to say “I think this shouldn’t be certified”, otherwise what is the point of certifying?

    To me, this seems more like the Dems being fascists, to borrow a lefty term.

        I didn’t see that in the article. Can you show me where the article states they refused because they didn’t like the outcome?

        From the article,

        Crosby and Judd said they were not satisfied that the machines used to tabulate ballots were properly certified for use in elections. This prompted lawsuits, including one from then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat.

        Since many machines have failed certification in the past, it is valid to make sure the machines are certified. Do you know what certification means?

      it’s the part where they violated a court order to certify. they had a chance to say “I think this shouldn’t be certified” and explain why. They failed to do so to the court’s satisfaction, the court ruled that they were disrupting for the sake of disruption, the court ordered them to certify, and they still refused.

      I’d like to be an election official and say “I think all these votes for republicans shouldn’t be certified.” I mean, that’s my job right? So, you’ve already agreed it’s not a big deal

      THe issue is they were not sure the machines had been certified. This is a valid concern. We have a horrible track record of making sure machines are certified for elections.
