Today's review of write-in ballots ended with Sen. Lisa Murkowski enjoying an apparently insurmountable 10,420-vote lead over Joe Miller.

Murkowski also now has collected more votes that went unchallenged by Miller ballot observers than Miller's total vote count. That makes it appear as though Miller's lawsuit to seeking to toss out misspelled votes is irrelevant, since there aren't enough of those for him to win.

The Division of Elections has now counted a total of 100,868 votes for Murkowski. Miller has 90,448.

“That RINO bitch is going to be hell to live with.”

Very true. And very unfortunate too.

Alaska allows for write-ins. She took advantage of that. The GOP simply can’t tell her “you lost”, when the State allows a candidate to run for office as a write-in.

Murkowski is leading even among just the undisputed ballots?

So much for Miller's recent press release....

[rlmorel]

Yep. She is a flat out liberal.

The potheads used the "provisional" ballot technique to get "medicinal" pot "legalized" in Arizona this time. Arizonans voted it down. The potheads from California came in and cast "provisional" ballots to put it over the top.

Darn, you mean they voted in the wrong state? No wonder it didn't pass in California. Foo!

Don’t ask me why, but I still have the feeling that she’s gonna lose this election despite the fact that the heavyweights seem to be supporting her. Somehow, the right result will result. Hopefully. :-)

Then why even have primaries?

[dadfly]

if your information is correct, then why is joe miller not conceding? makes zero sense. the media has been wrong too many times. i’ll just wait for joe.

Oh, look here in the corner! A bag with 9000 neatly stacked and folded ballots for Murkowski. And look how neatly her name is printed on each one.

That's from a deposition or a fraud complaint? A hand writing analysis is in order. How many of those ballets are written in the same hand?

[Tzimisce]

They’re going to count the ballots they found in the desk drawer at the ACORN office right? :)

MILLER GETS FRANKENED BY MURK; RINOS WIN THIS TIME

[pillut48]

I hope he freakin’ calls for a recount, and THEN a recount of the recount—reminiscent of Algoracle’s 2000 crapfest in Florida...challenge EACH AND EVERY BALLOT if they legally can!! I still think he’s being Frankened!!! >:-(

[keta]

you got it

[txhurl]

Alaska is one of two cases where the rats can’t bus in their people to vote as commanded, trip is too expensive.

So they have to devise other fallbacks.

your right

There are no recalls for United States Senate seats.

Has anyone answered this. Are there outstanding ballots or not? Starting to sound like they think this was it and I’m flat out confused.
