33. Count the signatures and also see...
if the signatures look like they were actually made by several hundred different people. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring in a handwriting expert to look for signs of forgery -- hesitations in the writing, signatures that are too similar, etc.

Given that the Conyers letter had some specific questions about Perry county having registered voters with no signatures on file with the county, I wouldn't even put it past Arnebeck et al to try matching the signature cards from voter registration forms with the poll books, signature by signature, in a county that they feel is highly likely to be tainted.

If the poll books are fishy in a county with no paper trail, that just might be the leverage that Arnebeck can use to successfully impound and inspect the machines.
