As far as I can tell, she has every right not to sign any document she doesn’t feel like. Good for her. If what you say is true, then she may be able to hold onto her job in spite of her objection.
Can you say on what basis you hold your opinion? I am unaware of the applicable laws in her town regarding the legal responsibilities of the town clerk, but perhaps you are.

Don't blame the FReeper. The town clerk shouldn't even be issuing a stupid license from the Gov't. This was always gonna happen when an amoral body like Gov't replaces the role of Religion.

This woman is an elected official. She doesn’t answer to anyone except the voters. If she doesn’t want to sign a license, I cannot see were she would be in jeopardy except in her next election.
If this was just another some elected official who didn’t feel like doing something, say a sheriff who wouldn’t respond to emergency calls, would they be in any sort of trouble from a higher authority? No. Just the voters.
