I'm not sure if I can blame the BBR, when it seems that 1) those doing the recount were remarkably inflexible about the deadline (what matters more? the deadline, or the recount, especially when it is being disrupted?) and 2) those who supplied the deadline were also being remarkably inflexible about the deadline. The fact that BBR worked is only because those two points were true?
