Just got the following email

“Dear Edward,

Judge Crawford has informed us that the primary election recount will begin on Wednesday, September 8th. We need your help to make this process go as quickly as possible. The judge has asked that we submit a list of volunteers by Friday morning (September 3rd). We will need 40 volunteers from each county to complete the recount.

Each county clerk will oversee a recount team, who will be responsible for counting all of the ballots in that county. Normally, each candidate would recruit their own volunteers in each county, but in order to make this process happen as quickly as possible, all five of us have agreed to put out the call generally and nominate the volunteers together.

The more volunteers we can recruit in each county, the faster the recount can be completed. Please help if you can, especially if you have experience with elections or if you are on the Board of Civil Authority. Once we have a list of volunteers, we will submit them to Judge Crawford, so the process can begin on time. If you know people who might be interested in volunteering, please forward this email to them.

If you can’t volunteer for the recount, but you want to help beat Brian Dubie in November, please make a contribution to the Shumlin for Governor campaign or a donation to the Vermont Democratic Party.  

Your contribution will go toward the coordinated campaign to elect Democrats up and down the ticket in November. We need your help now and we’ll need it in the coming weeks to win in November. Thanks for your support.

Sincerely,

Peter, Doug, Deb, Matt, & Susan”
