20. I think it's pretty clear what Blackwell's intent is here...
Think about it. Blackwell's running out the clock for two reasons. First and obviously, it stalls the recounts (Florida 2000 anyone?).

But there's a second, ulterior motive I think is going on. If for some reason the result is overturned in favor of Kerry, Blackwell has effectively run beyond the safe harbor deadline, leaving our lovely Repuke led Congress to have the opportunity to deny the Democrat slate of electors.

Either way, the crooks win.

::sigh::
