No one has answered my question about ..if there are 30,000 military ballets outstanding.........I am ALSO confused

Alaska had an estimated population of 698,473 in 2009 -- so 30,000 Alaskans deployed overseas in the US military would be a very high estimate.

Unfortunately, it looks like the conservative candidate has somehow managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I'm amazed that 92,715 Alaskans could spell "Murkowski" correctly, even with it written out in front of them. That could not happen in New Jersey.

There were only 13,000+ military ballots *issued* for the 2008 and not nearly that many were returned. There were fewer issued in this mid-term, and fewer returned undoubtedly. The yet to be counted military ballots - according the *state* is around 600 to 700.

But the press, and quotes from the state on all these matters has been as murky, as murky’s campaign and I’ve been following dozens of articles and the actual counts closely for the past two weeks.

Believe me your confusion and frustration is shared by many including me.
