“If Murkowski isn’t on the absentees...”
According to the article, some ‘several thousand’ of the absentees are ‘write-ins’ which one would think favors murky. But the other say 37,000 absentees, if they’re not write-ins, would favor Miller (plus the other (smirk) RAT). The article says they have to count those 40,000 ‘this week’ and Miller’s campaign says they think they can gain 1,000 on murk just tomorrow. If there really are that many absentees, wouldn’t the Miller campaign be touting them more? Perhaps they haven’t checked all the absentees to see if there are other ‘write-ins’ among them - I really don’t know. But on balance - 37 or 38K absentees seems to favor Miller pretty greatly.
Ugh, I just don’t know what to believe about that 40,000 number yet from the AK elections director, nor what it means to the Miller campaign at this point.
i could swear there was an article last week stating most absentee ballots had been counted already. the original number was 40,000 which included military. I can’t see why all the drama about write ins when there are all those absentee ballots still to come.
