Currently Nate Silver has her 14-% below Trump for winning the election.

Seems you may also misapprehend "ministerial obligation." Any such case would be resolved with a certain outcome- do it - and very quickly because of tight certification deadlines. This is why election officials aren't really concerned about certification. What comes next, election contests and the other bulls**t, will be of concern.

Also... the article cites Courts as our protection against denial of certification at a time when Courts are become in many cases more political than judicial.

Perhaps you misapprehend what "ministerial obligation" means. If the required act of an official is ministerial then a court considering the officials' refusal to act has no discretion but to order the official to perform the act.

I've come to original meaning on my own. With my own reservations.
