Cam Kerry (John's brother) on monitoring election results

Note: he says nothing about Kerry unconceding.  Peace,  Carol

Message from Cam Kerry
 
Dick Bell, the person who ran the Kerry blog and the Kerry Online Forum,
just forwarded me this message. This is authentic. Dick doesn't have an
active DU account, so he asked me to post it. I worked with Dick on the
online campaign.

I am grateful to the many people who have contacted me to express their
deep concern about questions of miscounting, fraud, vote suppression,
and other problems on election day, especially in Florida and Ohio.
Their concern reflects how much people care about the outcome of this
election.
 
I want to you to know we are not ignoring it. Election protection
lawyers are still on the job in Ohio and Florida and in DC making sure
all the votes are counted accurately. I have been conferring with
lawyers involved and have made them aware of the information and
concerns people have given me. Even if the facts don't provide a basis
to change the outcome, the information will inform the continuing effort
to protect the integrity of our elections.
 
If you have specific factual information about voting problems that
could be helpful to the lawyers doing their job, please send it to
vri@dnc.org <mailto:%20vri@dnc.org>  rather than to me.
 
The election protection effort has been important to me personally, and
I am proud of the 17,000 lawyers around the country who helped. It's
obvious that we have a way to go still, but their efforts helped make a
difference. Their work goes on.
 
Thank you,
 
Cam Kerry
