Approximately 25 blazars are known to emit VHE photons, and observations of blazars are one of the VERITAS collaboration's key science projects (KSP). More than 50 of these objects have been observed with the array, in most cases with the deepest-ever VHE exposure. This contribution summarizes the VERITAS blazar KSP, with a focus on the upper limits measured in the blazar discovery program. VERITAS blazar detections are presented in detail elsewhere in these proceedings.
