I didn’t see that in the article. Can you show me where the article states they refused because they didn’t like the outcome?

From the article,

Crosby and Judd said they were not satisfied that the machines used to tabulate ballots were properly certified for use in elections. This prompted lawsuits, including one from then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat.

Since many machines have failed certification in the past, it is valid to make sure the machines are certified. Do you know what certification means?
