MOREHEAD,
April Miller and Karen Roberts were the first couple through the courthouse door — and the first to be rejected.
They were followed by David Ermold and David Moore, who have been rejected multiple times in Rowan County.
“I feel like I’ve been humiliated on such a national level,” Ermold told the Associated Press.
Davis did not make an appearance at the counter as the first couples streamed in, leaving employees to deny the licenses on her behalf. A woman at counter said Davis was “doing reports.”
When Davis emerged, she declared that she was not issuing any licenses.
“Under whose authority?” she was asked.
“Under God’s authority,” she said.
