Eska,

Not sure you have the update, 102,028 write-in votes, 90,448 Miller votes.

AFN has asked the judge to join the Miller case.

“Not sure you have the update, 102,028 write-in votes, 90,448 Miller votes.”

Looks like Miller gained 2,931 or so votes and write-ins gained 3,463 or so votes today...not good. 3,463 * 89.5% is 3,099 - still out ahead of Joe, for today.

On the plus side, there are still at least several thousands and maybe many more absentee ballots to count - but who knows how many at this point, as the dept. of elections has been very coy with this information.

Miller - 90,448
murky - 89.32% uncontested * 102,028 = 91,131

91,131 less 90,448 = 683 votes.

This one is a squeaker with uncontested votes. It will come down to contested votes, of which there are 9470 total from both camps.

HOW MANY ABSENTEES and MILITARY BALLOTS ARE STILL UNCOUNTED?

Actually, JOE MILLER still leads in today's counting!

JOE MILLER 90,448

Have to hand it to ya, you were right, I was wrong. I still believe things will continue to change, maybe take a few elections; hope our Country survives fiscally in the process.

I don't begrudge the Indians over govt spending in the villages. They've lost everything they started with, the problem is from what I see, the social condition in most villages is not improving.

I know quite a few Indians upriver in Canada and they are 1st & 2nd cousins to Indians in our village; night & day difference. Their govt is the difference. Until the USA gives back BLM & park lands to our villages and then couples development to provide real jobs nothing will change for the better. The cycle of alcohol, suicide, child abuse, FAS, has to stop for the future.

I'm also worried about our own Nation's financial situation. I honestly believe a collapse of our financial system is in the cards. Out here, I can always snare rabbit, get a few caribou and a moose, eat salmon and grow a huge garden;;; been doing that for years; ask any of the local Indians here in Eagle. I don't want to see hard times for my kids who are at UAA & UAF down the road. Hope we still have our Country & freedom in another dozen years.

Anyway, good talking,,,, and like I said if you ever get up Eagle; ask where the teacher lives between the old & new villages. You'll see the Miller & Salmon Signs at end of my lane, ha.
