29. I think that's what they did in FL 2000

tho not necessarily on purpose.

Remember how desperate (and I do mean desperate) Jim Baker was to prevent any further recounts? I think they were trying to keep the lid on the optical scan machines issue (don't know if they had touchscreens in some areas or not) and possibly even punch card tallying machines. Hanging and pregnant chads were a perfect foil for keeping attention on the smaller issue.
