I hope that is the case. I am just following the totals in my spreadsheet to see what is happening. I have no idea whether Sullivan maintains a lead large enough to avoid a recount.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue . . .

That is true indeed. Don't hear it often enough on FR. How did you learn it?

(My Dad told me that words have the power to heal or to kill and that I needed to be more careful how I swung them around.)

I saw that the batch included HD 33, 37, 38, 39 and 40 which are Begich’s areas. I don’t think many pro-Sullivan votes were in that.

Thank you for referencing that article CatOwner. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.

Note that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention would be surprised by the thousands of votes being counted for a single federal Senate race. This is because the delegates had given the power to vote for members of the federal Senate solely to state lawmakers.

In fact, given the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, constitutionally unjustified interest in Alaska’s vote count for Senator is another example of major problems with the ill-conceived 17th Amendment. After all, are voters really so concerned about the cost of postage stamps that political parties would fight each other to be able control policy for the US Mail Service, the Mail Service one of the very few powers that states have actually delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, to regulate an aspect of intrastate commerce?

The reality is that undue interest in Senate races is a consequence of the wrongly perceived powers of the corrupt federal government.

I thought this race was called for Sullivan several days ago?

**************

It was by AP. However the State hasn’t made that call
and it’s the one that counts.

[FredZarguna]

By news agencies, but not by the AK Department of State.

[BlackElk]

As we post, the crack dogsled battalion of the Chicago Demonrat machine is racing to Alaska with tens of thousands of “misplaced” Alaska ballots which are unanimously Demonrat.

[deport]

Yep the dog sleds, bush planes and snow skis are being
employed to get those votes in for counting.

Side question: If I update the numbers later in this thread (rather than continuously create new threads), is there a way for me to update the thread title to include something like “(Latest update on post # xyz)”?

[deport]

is there a way for me to update the thread title to include something like “(Latest update on post # xyz)”?

**************

You’d to get the moderators to do that for you. Ping one to
the thread, ask the question and see what they tell you.

[ozzymandus]

Criminals at work.

[Raycpa]

So Sullivan wins if he only gets 37% of remaining votes and Begich gets 55%? No wonder it was called for Sullivan.

[dirtymac]

The Dems took lessons from the state of Washington. Keep finding more uncounted ballots until they got the answer they wanted.

The Alaska election site says there were 255,000 votes cast. If that is true, there is only 2-3 thousand left to count. No way, there is 30,000.

[Balding_Eagle]

I saw your post on that way back, it worried me then already, and more today.

[CatOwner]

"The Alaska election site says there were 255,000 votes cast. If that is true, there is only 2-3 thousand left to count. No way, there is 30,000."

You stated this earlier in this thread, and it was shown to be wrong. The total remaining is around 30,000.

Car trunk votes coming to the fore front.

[ExCTCitizen]

Begich, see if Dannel Mallory can send you some fraudulent votes from a car trunk...

[mazz44]

Taken from election result site. 255,812 votes cast and 253,230 counted. Now, where are the 30,000 uncounted votes coming from? They cannot be all provisional.

The web site just updated, and now shows 264,997 total votes, an increase of 11,767 votes over the previous update earlier today. That’s almost 19,000 more votes today just for the Senate race (wasn’t counting the number of ballots - some may not have a vote or can’t be determined).
