The Board of Supervisors has a non-discretionary duty to canvass the returns as provided by the
County Recorder or other officer in charge of elections and has no authority to change vote totals
or reject the election results

Thanks for the link...yeah, only acceptable reason for a postponement (Mojave Co. did 1) is “still waiting on results”. BofS accepts the canvass after all results are in...only reason to vote “no” are delayed results from a polling place.

So the "manual" written by SOS & Candidate Hobbs has the rules she wants. Administrative "law." What does the legislative law say on the subject. Requiring an official to always answer "yes" to a "yes/no" question begs the question of why require them to answer it at all and renders the procedural step null. Hobbs's interpretation may suit her, but it's hard to imagine as the intent of a legislature a judge supporting it even though IIRC some judge did provide just such an order last AZ election. If the legislature had said anything about what happens after non-certification that would prove her interpretation false.

If they cannot reject the results, then what value is to be found in their ‘approval’?

Makes absolutely no sense to thinking persons, anywhere.
