County Board of Elections seek a rehearing." At that time, since the Stay order was apparently in effect, the Cabarrus County Board of Elections chose not to proceed. 14. The Stay of Certification was dissolved somewhere around July 22, 1994. The Cabarrus County Board of Elections was not notified of the lifting of this order in writing eithar by the Superior Court or by the State Board of Elections. 15. The State Board of Elections met on Friday, July 29, 1994 in a conference call meeting. Mr. Hartsell was in telephone attendance during this State Board meeting. He had learned of the meeting late in the afternoon of July 28, 1994 and requested permission to "Attend". When, during the telephone meeting, the Attorney General's office suggested it was the obligation of the Cabarrus Board to certify the recount results, Hartsetl advised those participating, including counsel for the parties, of certain issues (the question of a canvass not having been conducted, the unresolved complaints, and the complaint appeal to the State Board of Election from Sissine) about which the Cabarrus County Board had concerns and needed direction or clarification from the State Board of Elections. The State Board advised Hartsell these issues could not be addressed at that time on the grounds that they were "outside the sco~e of the conference call" meeting held Friday, July 29, 1994.
