Click on the link for updated numbers.

Ballot counting for the Mat-Su elections office was to start at 10 a.m. (Sarah's area IIRC) and Fairbanks was to start counting at 1 p.m. Alaska time.

“Ballot counting for the Mat-Su elections office was to start at 10 a.m. (Sarah’s area IIRC) and Fairbanks was to start counting at 1 p.m. Alaska time.”

Thanks. I think you imply the numbers will swing with Miller when counting from these districts? I would certainly hate to see the Republicans develop their own “ALGORE” chad monster.

[GoCards]

Anchorage is more Dem, right? being big city and all. We should see more for Miller in other places. I am a nervous nelly? Praying for good news!

[NewHampshireDuo]

I guess I’d expect Anchorage’s tallies to swing a bit toward Murky.

[nutmeg]

Thanks for the update... praying for a Miller win!

[Eldon Tyrell]

National Republican party better pray Miller wins, or else they are facing a split party.

They already aren’t getting the normal amount of donations - but a Miller loss without a fantastically good reason will lead to insurrection.

Rinos are no better than Dems anyway.

If Miller loses - its hard Conservative or nothing for me.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

Sounds like Minnesota all over again...with RINO Murkowski playing Stuart Smalley.

[heiss]

Looks like RINO Lisa got 57% of the votes (assuming every vote went either for RINO or Joe).

57% is not enough if there are only 7000 votes left, but it is enough if there are much more than that (e.g. 57% of 12,000 votes looks to be enough for RINO).

[Drango]

If my math is correct Murkowski got 63% of the absentee votes from Anchorage where she did well in the general. In other words this was expected.

Unlikely she can hold that ratio as more rural areas are counted. I believe I read she has to eek out 60% to take the election.

[heiss]

Does anybody know how many votes there are to be counted?
I have seen various numbers.

Or is at, “as many as needed for RINO to win” ?

[Vision]

Funny how the conservative candidate always loses votes in these types of circumstances.

[Deb]

What in the Hell is taking so long, there’s only 12 people in Alaska.

[jimbo123]

The fix is in.

[FarNorth]

These precincts are predominantly from Anchorage area where Lisa took them 9923 to 8864 a 52.8% lead.

The absentees gave her 57.6% not surprising given the area. There’s a lot more to come.

Southeast and Western Alaska also gave her the majority of votes, but they have a lot fewer voters than these first 10.

There’s still Mat-Su Valley, Kenai Peninsula, and all interior to come. Joe won those area by a lot.

Plus we still have the military votes.

[Pollster1]

I hope that the RINO party leadership knows that choosing Murkowski by fraud will lead to the Dems taking this race. It’s not worth the risk of faking the count, even with the fact that Murkowski is practically royalty and her family has a generations-old divine right to rule over us. We’re going to take a huge number of seats, and this is not the time to throw one away for the good old boys’ club.

Update

Miller, Joe REP 49566
Murkowski, Lisa REP 48106

Miller up by 1460

[wireman]

As of 12:04, Miller's lead is back up to 1,460

(per http://www.elections.alaska.gov/results/10PRIM/data/results.htm)

[Tzimisce]

Don’t count your vote until the liberal judges do. :D

[Iron Munro]

"Miller's lead over Murkowski narrowed"

[Scythian]

Miller will lose is my guess, to bad too.

[arthurus]

Now the DemocratsRINO ops will start finding "misplaced" ballot boxes or touch screen units full of only Murkowski votes. There will be recounts and in this day and age Democrats win recounts and Democrats will be working hard for Murkowski. They know they can't win as Democrats this year but they can help ensure that some Democrat-compliant Republicans will go to Washington.
