9. Who managed the PR?
Cam Kerry says they knew:

how many provisional, overseas, and absentee ballots were left to count.

there were up to 94,000 "undervotes" or "spoiled ballots," punch card ballots rejected by machines (a far lower percentage than in Florida in 2000 due to education about punching carefully).

The distribution of these uncounted votes across Ohio

they would not be enough to dent the margin.

I know they've said this repeatedly, but perhaps a press conference with all those heavy hitters just days after the election would have been helpful. Maybe they didn't expect the backlash from conceding. But it would seem like after all this time if they fully understood how bad this election was conducted, whether conspired illegalities or just conspired routine vote suppression, that they would be launching some sort of campaign to really make it clear what they did in those days and weeks after to learn more and hold people accountable.
