What happens if Mark Finchem refuses to approve a Biden victory in Arizona?

Seriously what happens if Biden’s victory nationwide rests on Arizona and Mark Finchem refuses to certify it?

[NewYorkExpress]

The Supreme Court upholds Biden decision not to certify 5-4 (or possibly 6-3, as much as Roberts wants to preserve the legitamcy of the Supreme Court, he is a Republican Partisan, and I think that would override everything for him) or a Republican House and Senate vote to recognize the Republican electors from Arizona on January 6.

In lots of cases of local officials refusing to certify election results (which go back very far, actually), state courts can order them to certify (or sometimes consider their jobs forfeit, or risk criminal charges, though I'm not sure especially the former would apply to a statewide elected official). There may be a federal case but I think the matter would have to start as a state case.

Otherwise, in the absence of a certified election result, Arizona would not cast any Electoral College votes, or might be in the position of sending two slates, where Congress would determine which is authentic (itself subject to SCOTUS review).
