Well we are screwed then. Thanks for telling me though. Do you know what happens if we cannot complete the recount in time as Goldsmith ordered us to? The whole state is charged with contempt? Or justvthrvrlection folk?
We are hurting here big-time. Scrambling for help with no notice. But then that was what Goldsmith wanted.
The only way contempt will stand is if the recount "management" orders the effort to stop. The judge can no more order a completion date than he can order a repeal of a physical law. It gets done, when it gets done. Contempt will not stand against a person who has better things to do than work a recount. If you are ordered to recount (as an election-related employee of a city, county or state) you do what the boss says, or take the consequences. But nobody outside of that group of workers has to take the temp job.
I would not "scramble" for help or to get the recount done in a hurry. The state courts have ruled "no recount." Judge Conehead is showing the world his ass. He deserves ridicule and contempt.
