The date and place the license is issued, and the signature of the county clerk or deputy clerk issuing the license.

Interesting. I thought the clerk had to sign. If the deputies can sign, then that resolves the issue. Her signature is not needed, and she doesn't have to violate her beliefs. The deputies that agree to sign can deal with their own salvation...

Doubt it. Remember the florists and bakers? There were others that could provide the service,
but the leftists couldn’t abide ANYONE disagreeing on the basis of Christian values.

Per another story, the license has been altered to say “Rowan County” rather than using Davis’s name. Don’t know if it’s technically legal, but that’s what they’re using as the work around.

The clerk has to issue a statement authorizing the marriage, regardless of signature. See the post above yours - I was using the colloquial shorthand before, but I decided to cut & paste the actual law and RayCPA highlighted the statement in question.

Are they agreeing to sign with or without being bonded?

If they aren't bonded they may have considerable personal liability is this world.
