Dear Secretary Ritchie,
I want to express my appreciation for the professional and fair manner in which you are conducting this election recount. I also want to advise that under no circumstances should any outside pressures or challenges to your fairness impact your procedures in any way. Senator Coleman’s campaign has obviously begun a public relations strategythat is meant to pressure you, through media and public perception, to make changes and decisions that will favor their end goal. Online blogs (i.e. MDE), the Minnesota GOP and even national politicians and conservative tv/radio show hosts are all coordinating to try to influence your process wherever possible. Please don’t change from what you consider a fair and impartial process to try to appease such attempts; they all know what they ask is biased. Such screaming is all part of the coordinated strategy to get inside your head and make you believe that changes need to be made to make the process more acceptable. Ignore all such pressures; I sincerely hope that the appointment of two partisan judges to the canvassing board was not a result of attempts at appeasement. I have full confidence in your personal and your office’s ability to conduct such a large and nationally important recount in the most accurate, professional, fair and thorough manner.
Sincerely,
MtkaDem
