The Associated Press has called the race for Murkowski, who is expected to declare victory Wednesday night at the Laborer's Hall in Anchorage.
Here's the press release:
Miller: Integrity of the Vote is Vital
Anchorage, Alaska. November 17, 2010 -- Joe Miller, U.S. Senate candidate, anticipates the end of the vote counting in Alaska today with the tallying of the overseas ballots. With over 255,000 votes cast, less than one percent of the vote total now separates Miller and Murkowski.
In order to ensure the integrity of the election results, the Miller campaign has requested, and the Division of Elections has now granted, the opportunity to review some precinct logs from throughout the state. Miller campaign spokesman Randy DeSoto said, "Our campaign has sworn affidavits identifying unsecured ballot boxes, other precincts where numerous ballots appear to be in the same handwriting, others where there is 100% voter turnout and still other precincts where the ballots were sent to the Division of Elections presorted by U.S. Senate candidate. These and other irregularities give our campaign pause. Alaskans must be able to trust the results of its elections."

Go, Joe!
It’s about time someone fought for principle rather than throwing in the towel.
We’ll never have fair elections until we’re willing to fight as hard as the leftists.
Joe Miller is doing all America a favor if he pursues this.
Their numbers don’t jive. They say that there is less than one percent of the total votes cast separating the two but one percent of 255,000 is 2550, NOT 10,000. The 10,000 has to include the contested ballots.
“We’ll never have fair elections until we’re willing to fight as hard as the leftists.
Joe Miller is doing all America a favor if he pursues this.”
Exactly. This is about a much larger principle than just this AK Senate seat.
keep fighting....lets just find out WHAT the law is....is it to be followed, or changed at the whims of indecent people....
Thanks for caring the water!
I was hoping he would win, but he lost. I’m SURE the election was stolen, but that’s what happens when the conservative doesn’t win outside of the margin of fraud/litigation.
NUTS!
She’s a woman, a naturally bitter woman, now a bitter woman who has been scorned by the true right-when she goes back, look out-remember that thing about “hell hath no fury” and all. She is going to find a way to rub conservatives’ faces in it, after the party leadership welcomes her back like a long-lost comrade-in-arms.
Thanks SeattleBruce.
Undisputed vote counts:
the murky one: 92,715 - 38.1%
Joe Miller: 90,448 - 37.2%
The RAT: 59,817 - 23.45%
Others: Approx. 1%
Miller is down by 2,267 undisputed votes - less than 1% of the total vote. Look at all the discrepancies the campaign cites. The State is barely making accomodations - letting them check a few (pre-selected??) precinct logs. They need to be able to check ALL the logs -
All the LOGS
All the LOGS!! (for those that support truth and integrity that should be our chant here.)

Dude ... he’s trying to stop an election from being stolen. You have a problem with that?
Therefore Joe is right in fighting down to the bitter end, he may win. Never forget Franken in Minnesota. If the Cow had the ultimate lead in the count,she would not be putting out this pressure.She is afraid she will lose and she may yet. The country club GOP/RNC deserves the fight.
The fat lady has not yet sung in ALaska.
Also, the military ballots. Have they been counted? I think I saw mention that they didn’t count because there was no write-in opportunity. I don’t know if that’s true; but if so, IS IT LEGAL?
Also, is it legal to violate the laws as written and allow all sorts of spelling mistakes for Murcowski? A lot of questionable ballots were allowed, by the intervention of a judge who was nominated by Murcowski’s father.
And were those Inuit votes legal? Did individuals even fill them in, or did their chiefs do it?
This is truly a good example for a re-count, and to show that Alaskans are not quitters.
Joe has a prime opportunity here to enforce and hopefully further refine election laws.
With our help he could very well be the absolute best spokesperson for voter reform, and to combat any irregularities in the 2012 elections.
“I was hoping he would win, but he lost. I’m SURE the election was stolen...”
Then Miller should fight to expose the fraud. And he appears to be doing just that.
After what Murkowski did, it would be difficult to characterize Miller as a “sore loser”.
Very interesting. So if the election officials get to deem “voter intent” for votes that may be for Murkowski, then ALL the ballots must be given the same consideration, we settled that in 2000 when the Rats tried to recount ONLY votes form selected districts.
The Democrat candidate getting less the 24% is an indication of heavy Democrat support for Murkowski.
“Also, the military ballots. Have they been counted?”
From all reports I saw (who knows how accurate), there were something in the range of 600 to 700 UOCAVA/military ballots to count after today. I think they counted a lot of them already (as they came in.) I haven’t seen Joe’s total change all day, so those, at the least, haven’t been counted.
The fight is far from over. There are MANY things that can be challenged. Untended ballots, 100% precinct turnouts, laws not being followed, hand counts of Murlowski votes but machine counts of Miller ballots. If we use “voter intent” for Murkowski write ins, then that same standard MUST be used for ALL ballots.
