73. The key word in Cam Kerry's e-mail: IF
He does not say the facts don't provide a basis to change the outcome. He says, "Even if the facts don't provide a basis to change the outcome..." He is speaking about what the future outcome might be (if the facts do not provide a basis...).

If he meant to say that the facts already conclusively do not provide a basis to change the outcome, he would have said though instead of if. (Even though the facts don't provide a basis...).

Remember, he's a lawyer. He chooses his words carefully.

Also, Skinner quotes PeteNYC as saying, "At this point,there simply are not enough votes for us to win this thing, so please don't expect JK to un-concede.

I don't read this as saying they have given up. If there's a strong case of fraud to pursue, I think they will do so.
