So what is this bad thing you expect to happen as a result of them doing this?
What is the downside?
Cochise County doesn't certify and several thousand votes are removed from AZ-06 House winner Juan Ciscomani (R) and Kirsten Engel (D) takes the lead and goes to Washington. Now a district that Republicans have held for 28 years and Trump won twice is represented by a Democrat and the GOP House's razor thin lead becomes even smaller.
Meanwhile, Mariposa completely ignores the temper tantrum taking place to the south and goes about business as usual, sending Hobbs to the governor's mansion and Kelly to the Senate.
Of course, this is obvious to nearly everyone.
A lawsuit has been filed to compel the supervisors to certify their votes. I would imagine they would prefer to do that first.
Without the certification a House seat will flip from the rightful Republican winner to the Democrat. The same will happen with the state public school superintendent’s race. Republican AG candidate Abe Hamadeh is currently trailing the Democrat by 510 votes. If Cochise County doesn’t certify their votes he will fall more than 9,000 votes further behind, which would kill his chances of winning the coming recount.
Because you think the state is going to give in disenfranchise those voters?
Really?

I guess you are smarter than the actual officials doing this.

During my life I have witnessed so much idiocy that is "obvious to everyone."
Much of the time "everyone" is just wrong.
How do you figure that? Where in the law is it allowed for state officials to just ignore the votes of people?
I very greatly doubt a state can legally move forward when there are outstanding votes. I believe this is a constitutional law violation.
