Current status of SSM in the holdout states (MAP)

[Likely Voter]

It is now clear that she isn't required to get involved, she can just let her deputies do any SSM licenses. So if she blocks them again I think there will be less sympathy. She has to actively get in the way of stopping her deputies instead of just letting it happen. That wont look like her religious liberty is being violated, that will look like discrimination.

Only the hardcore will back her if she stops her deputies from issuing licenses while she lobbies and/or goes through the courts to try and get her name off licenses. She can just step aside while she tries to get relief from the gov, legislature or courts. Anything more will be seen as mean spirited and self-serving.

it appears this is all over. SSM licenses are being handed out by deputies while Davis hides in her office. While she is saying the licenses aren't valid, the governor says they are:

The Attorney General and the County Attorney have also said they are valid so basically Davis is just an angry lady railing against the system without any power.

presumably all over the country there are county clerks and deputies who aren't comfortable with SSM who are deferring to colleagues and/or subordinates to issue the licenses in accordance with the law. Davis could have done this to begin with and so this whole thing was a narcissistic waste of time and clearly unfair to people of her county. Hopefully they will vote her out for using her public office as a platform for religious protest instead of doing her job.
