Well, either way it'll be close. So, they'll hold these 22 new ballots, and maybe even find more, just in case they need them. If they don't need them, they'll just toss those ballots and say "We couldn't verify them, so we didn't count them." but if gregoire is behind in teh final count, they'll count them.
Just watch.
..Stalin once said something like, "the number of votes don't matter, its' who counts the votes that matters"
