"perhaps 10,000+ military/overseas ballots

That's a high number...I'll bet it isn't more than 2,000. Fact is, the troops do not vote in high numbers.

Deport has reported that in 2008:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2626026/posts?page=44#44 (this is no dems quoting deport).

“13,766 Overseas Military Ballots were transmitted in 2008.”

Question then is, how many troops voted that year, and how many this year.

In any case, based on my analysis in post #34 above, Joe Miller only needs to make up about 778 uncontested votes to be tied with Murk in uncontested votes.

I think that for sure is do-able and Miller may have a small 1,000 or 2,000 vote advantage with about 8,000 votes being contested and counted across the 98,565 write-in votes there currently are.
