Alaska Senator race updated
Alaska 2014 General Elections web site ^

Posted on 11/14/2014 1:40:07 PM PST by CatOwner

Alaska updated their 2014 election results web site about 25 minutes ago. An additional 7,100 votes were added in to the race for Senator. Begich got 55.0% of those votes, while Sullivan got 37.3%. Sullivan's lead dropped from 7,911 to 6,651 votes.

At that pace, if an additional 30,000 votes are counted, Begich would close to within 1,300 votes of Sullivan and within the 0.5% margin for a recount (I assume it's 0.5% for Alaska).

Remember what I mentioned about the Dem’s going to all the villages to get out the Indian & Eskimo vote; probably where Begich’s increase is coming from. Sullivan has it won, just the same I believe.

Would love to see (R) and (D) in these postings.

Are they getting “ballots-in-the-trunk” help from that Minnesota phony?

The “margin of fraud” has become a constiuency, which reliably votes 110% democrat.

The Minnesota template. This does not bode well.

Here were the other close races as suggested in this Politico article.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3224198/posts

and how did the GOP fare?

Well, McSally in Arizona and Sullivan in Alaska for Senate were the two bright spots for the GOP in close races, SO FAR. The remainder either flipped from GOP to RAT (CA7, CA16, and CA52) or the RAT increased his lead. So if your’s scoring at home that’s

RATS 13 GOP 2

As I posted on the FR thread for this article

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3224198/posts

“Bend over GOP. It’s coming.”

If it gets that close in Alaska, I'm afraid it's Franken II.

I would not be terribly surprised if at the end of the day it ended up:

RATs 15
GOP 0

Can't seem to find a consistent number for that. It keeps going up with each report.

No, it is good. Sullivan is going to win.

Thanks Cat, much appreciated.

If you know

How long does the state allow for ballots to come in ?

Is there a precinct breakdown about where these are coming in from ?

I'll keep my fingers crossed, and thanks again !
