A letter from Cathy, Nov., 30, 2014: Dear friends, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your families and loved ones. I am very thankful for your support and good wishes over the past few weeks. I thought this would be a good time to provide an update on my race. As most of you are aware, the Maine Democratic Party’s legal team refused to sign off on the results of the SD 25 recount because of serious concerns. These concerns include 9 disputed ballots, 10 missing ballots, and an additional 21 ballots from Long Island that were not counted on Election Day. Last Monday, the Secretary of State’s office confirmed that the 21 Long Island ballots that first appeared at the recount did not match the incoming voter list from Election Day. The Long Island incoming voter list showed that 171 voters participated in voting on Election Day, either in person or by absentee ballot, but 192 ballots were tallied as a part of the SD25 recount. That means there are 21 more ballots than people who voted on Long Island. These 21 untraceable ballots, all for my opponent, were enough to swing the election results in her favor. The Long Island mystery ballots are of great concern to me and to others involved in this process. Secretary of State Matt Dunlap has said, “this type of discrepancy has not occurred in recent memory.” Others involved with election recounts believe this mystery is unprecedented. As required by the Maine Constitution, the Secretary of State’s office has turned this matter over to the Maine Senate, which will convene this week to discuss the case. I will continue working with the Maine Democratic Party and its legal team to demand a thorough investigation into the results of my race. We must do right by the voters and make sure that the integrity of the electoral process remains in tact. Please bear with me as we continue to unravel this mystery. Thank you again for all of your support. I will be in touch as soon as we know more. Cathy Breen
