Ms. Joof, thanks for your efforts and the clarification. I do NOT think
there is any need for you to give up what you were trying to do. Both my and
Ansumana’s comments were NOT trying to question your credibility. My major
issue was with the daily threshold which the List Managers have kindly
increased now. When I saw about five postings all talking about results that
I thought were irrelevant (1,000) in light of the numbers that voted in
Janjanburay (81,000), I thought it prudent to urge people to exercise
restraint before we exhaust our quota. I am sure you agree that if we want
to use more than five postings to report results from more than 28 counting
centers, we were going to exhaust our hundred postings pretty soon.

Another concern was to put the results in perspective. Who was calling what?
I see you somewhat explained that Gabriel Roberts is calling these results.
This was NOT in the earlier postings we queried. Since my query, I have
learnt that the results come in directly to GRTS (as opposed to IEC
Headquarters which I was led to believe would be the destination of the
results). Once the results arrive at GRTS, Jainaba Nyang hands them over to
Gabriel Roberts to read the results. I just hope that the results GRTS is
handing over to Gabriel Roberts is a fair reflection of people’s votes and
the results have been certified by all Parties and the observers.

The night is still young. If you have the stamina, please feel free to send
in more results.
