Miller's at 87,000+ votes now - if murk gets 90% uncontested she's at around 88,500, then there's the military votes. I've been saying for days that this isn't over. Some people are speculating that there are 10,000 military votes - what if Miller out polls murk by 2 or 3K there - then he'd just need about 60% of his challenged votes to hold up in court to win.

Slim, but fighting chance - that's my assessment.

Oh, Miller’s down by less than 4.5% to write-in (with overall counts). Basically that means that between military and challenges he needs to make up that gap of around 8 to 9,000 votes. Mebbe he gains 3,000 at most out of a total of 10,000 military votes (?), so he’ll need to make up the other, say 5,000+ votes in the challenges.

There are currently around 5300 out of 69,000 write in votes that are ‘challenged’ but counted for murk. Given AK election law, it will all come down to how it is interpreted - and this will possibly/probably go to the SCOTUS, perhaps depending on Miller’s inclination.

He’s a fighter - no more Mr. Rossi nice guy. (Too bad for Dino, by the way, but the fight for him was lost in 2004. If he’d fought those felony votes, he would have been a popular governor of WA ST., imho.)
