Exactly! Everyone seems to be celebrating the 2010 elections. I say: we are "effed." This win was not big enough. All we may have done is delay the inevitable socialist subjugation. If those four had won, we would have had a chance to actually turn things around.
The recall of Federal Representatives and Senators is Unconstitutional. The Constitution specifically provides for the method of removal of a Senator or Representative, and recall is not among the options.
Yeah, but Skank won it with a write-in, which is a logistical nightmare if you only have two months to pull it off, it certainly tells us what HP her machine had - probably a lot of NRSC fingerprints all over it.
I read in another thread there were only 600 military votes left.
She was probably helped a lot by the high level of literacy among Alaskans, who can write a name on a ballot more proficiently than voters in Philly or Detroit.
Hey, I’m not making it up. Someone posted documented evidence of the 25K to 30K absentee ballots yesterday. I’d have to check through my pings to find it for you.
Yeah. A little while ago it was 1700 votes. How come the big jump?
I bet the real answer to this one stinks to high heaven.
In the real election, Lisa Murkowski lost. What is this a do over until she’s voted back in?
Are you studying politics in school?
This is unfortunate. I was looking forward to Miller shaking up the senate with true fiscal conservatism.
I don’t think you are making it up, I think they were making it up. That number is simply not realistic.
No, my last class in grad school was back in the 80s. I haven’t been in a classroom since then, except for traffic school.
If not for the unions all but forcing members to vote/wear bracelets for this witch, it would be over and Joe would be in DC.
Look here:
http://www.fresnobee.com/2010/11/09/2152369/absentee-count-to-start-in-alaska.html
The Fresnobee references 30,000 absentee ballots. THAT number is true. There were about 30,000 absentees that needed to be counted, and they now have been. That number was simply absentees and early votes, not military ballots. Someone took that number, added some spin to it, and then claimed these were all military ballots that would favor Miller.
In reality, a lot of people in Alaska vote by absentee.
Could be, but I'm having a hard time separating facts from hype in this story. There's just so much rumor and spin going on, you know?
I read in a news story (posted here), that the military absentee ballots would not be counted until November 17th. If something has changed with that, I'm not aware of it.
What kind of unions are in Alaska?...public employee unions?
But that’s because most people don’t have the facts, and just repeat things that are outdated.
THere were approximately 30,000 absentee ballots, and they have been counting them over the past week.
The military has until the 17th to return their ballots, but that doesn’t mean all the military ballots have been held until the 17th. The military are just a special case of absentee ballots which are allowed to be postmarked later; you have to assume that many of the military ballots were not sent in later, and could already have been counted.
Alaska had a sore loser rule to prevent this total bullshit.
Someone took that number, added some spin to it, and then claimed these were all military ballots that would favor Miller.
Thanks for the link and the clarification.
