The ruling cuts at the heart of a key argument made by right-wing activists since the 2020 election, when Donald Trump sought to disrupt the certification process as part of his bid to subvert the results.
The things they “can’t” do and the things they won’t do aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive. Though, they should be.
I think this opens a path to prompt judicial override if they refuse to certify.
Which would probably go poorly for us, see: Bush v Gore. A bunch of the lawyers from that case are now on the Supreme Court.
