The military absentees aren't due until Wed. 11/17. There are only about 12,000 more write-ins to count.
ping
If Murkowski isn’t on the absentees - doesn’t he only have to get 13,000 out of the 40,000 to win?

“For the first time Sunday, Miller observers were able to snap photos of challenged ballots. Miller says he’s shocked at the votes that are being counted.
“Here’s another one that was approved apparently today, which is ‘Maryski,’” Miller said. “Another one here is an ‘M’ with a squiggle behind it, and then a whole series of ballots like ‘Murcaski.’”

Let’s hope for about 5 to 7,000 of those illegal votes...
“plus an additional 8 percent of write-in votes that were challenged but still counted for the senator anyway.”
Thanks to an activist judge.
Very good news. Most of the hits against Miller came towards the end.

According to this article there are 15000 write in and 8600 absentee ballots left. They have been counting absentee ballots all along.
This entire affair has been confusing- especially given the lack of official announcements on how many ballots are out there. Either it is a poorly run elections dept, or they are hoping Miller just gives up.
If we just ignore laws long enough we will become like south of the border. As far as I can see rule of law is the main reason this is a better place to live. At least when we are ruined I guess the illegal immigration issue will go away.

Not sure how to interpet those numbers as they seem totally out of context to others we’ve seen. I don’t know if things have change or the writer is not understanding the process and what’s left to count. Keep in mind that UOCAVA ballots are coming in and the question is are they being counted with all the others. The Nov. 17th date is the last date they can be accepted for counting in the election. I’m not sure they are waiting till the last minute to count those that are arriving daily.
It is good news....let us pray that Miller kicks her down with all the cheating that has happened and I certainly hope this is put out far and wide.
How can there be 40,000 Absentee Ballots still out? I read this weekend that there were 22,000 to be counted PLUS the Overseas Military Ballots. I know there are not 18,000 Overseas Military Ballots out. In the last Prez Election only 13,000 Military Ballots went out.

Ugh - this article is consistent with Joe Miller’s words on Saturday and inconsistent with this Politico article quoted.
Quite a difference between 8500 absentees and 40,000. Which is it Gail Fenumiai? Hey is she friends with that Director of Vital Records in HI? ;)

“Still, he has so far shown no signs of backing off. He has argued in court that thousands of ballots should be thrown out because of misspellings of Murkowski’s name. He has asked for access to election registers to compare the number of voters to the number of ballots cast in certain precincts. His campaign has also alleged widespread voter fraud, though it has provided little evidence to back up the claims.”
Hmmmmm!? They have asked to be able to see the registers so they can check that the correct number of registered voters are voting, yet it ‘has provided little evidence to back up the claims’ of voter fraud.
Uh clue you morons at the Washington Compost - why don’t you advocate for those voter registers and then make your silly little activist conclusions - once we’ve all seen the numbers...naw, we’ll just let that sit under the haze of the AK ‘Dept. of Murkowski Elections’, while we put out our Murky propaganda...
Why does Joe Miller have to sue the State of AK to do what’s right and prove that there aren’t more votes per precinct than there are voters registered in those precincts?
On another notes Huckabee came out today in support of Joe Miller:
http://www.sunshinestatenews.com/blog/mike-huckabee-joe-miller-not-done-alaska-quite-yet
““Much media attention has been paid to the lame-duck session and the incoming freshman class of elected officials,” insisted Huckabee on Tuesday. “While political pundits express uncertainty over the future of our nation — in Alaska, Joe Miller’s future is also uncertain.
“Joe’s race for U.S. Senate is still not decided,” continued Huckabee, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and may do so again in 2012. “Alaska’s Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate is still in the race of his life and needs our immediate help.”
The disputed ballots in this race are still being reviewed,“ continued Huckabee. “Adding his strong, outspoken conservative voice from Alaska to the U.S. Senate is just what we need to begin turning this country around.”
First blasts on Sarah Palin’s lack of intellectual curiosity (that’s a laugh, especially when you consider the source!!) And now sen. write-ins latest target: Jim DeMint.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/45234.html
“After ripping Sarah Palin, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski isn’t mincing words about another one of her high-profile GOP critics: South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint.
“I think some of the Republicans in the Congress feel pretty strongly that he and his actions potentially cost us the majority by encouraging candidates that ended up not being electable,” Murkowski told POLITICO outside her Senate office. “And I think Delaware is a pretty good example of that, and I think there’re some folks that feel that DeMint’s actions didn’t necessarily help the Republican majority.”
+++++++++++++++++++++
Oh Lisa, you’re such an ally to the Republican Party. You’re such a big tent girl - bless your heart, that the moment you think you’ve won in AK, you come out and try to destroy every Conservative Republican in sight.
Gee thanks sen. lyin’ write-in. We surely appreciate your efforts (What? You don’t believe that? Well, I don’t believe you either...so I guess we’re even.)
Lisa, get a clue - if
