If you are right then Murkowski pulled off an incredible win and Joe’s just wasting time and money.
About your #2, I don't know. However, all of the write-in's would get a new look if the court orders the DOE rules have to be followed as written. The number that end up thrown out then could be the same or more or less. Likely more will get thrown out in my opinion.
Joe Miller may require/ask to hav his ballots hand counted as well. That makes a certain amount of sense.
IOW - there has to be a combination of votes thrown out for Murkowski and votes found for Miller that equals more than the current difference in their uncontested vote totals. Approximately 2000.
I remain very curious about 1) stories of the same signature on write-in ballots, 2) write-in ballots presorted, and 3) write-in ballot counts increased across the board as the count continued. Add an easy check on the total votes for a district compared to the signed register.
Cheers!
The 92,715 for Lisa Murkowski are the UNCONTESTED write-in votes with her name on them. There are another 8,153 write-in votes for her, but with errors and the state wants to give her those votes even though this is contrary to current state law.
Hope this helps.
So Miller’s lost by 2000 votes? What’s the point of fighting on?
The point of fighting on is to determine if, in fact, Miller lost at all. To find out, the Alaska DOE would have to decide (or have a court tell them) to follow Alaska's own rules for write-in votes.
After that a new hand count of all the Murkowski write-in votes would follow. No one knows what the final count would be at this stage.
Additionally, a hand count might be necessary for Miller's computerized votes. To understand why, visit here and read about "previously reported ... problems with the Tim Bishop race in Long Island where a hand recount produced a startlingly different total than the optical scan machines recorded."
It will be interesting to the finish.
Keep up all pinged, please, Sir.
I made a prediction that Joe Miller would win by less than 2000 votes.
And I believe that after a careful re-count and examination of the registers I may be wrong.
I think Joe will win with OVER a 2000 vote advantage.
LEGAL votes.
I agree, that is what we are seeing. Deception knows no bounds. Joe, a man of character, is taking this on to expose corruption. I pray the path will be cleared because one corrupt judge of a higher authority could stop him in his tracks.
We need to $upport him and pray for him because his fight is our fight, also. It’s not about Alaska as much as it’s for our country. Evil/deception is rampant.
If (big IF) the Alaska DOE follows the law on what write-in ballots count and what write-in ballots do not count, the numbers could really move in Joe Miller's direction.
No one really knows at this point in time.
Thank you for ALL the info you posted. I’m getting a better understanding. Any updates, please ping me.
Thanks, again.
Plus, my wife said to say, "I'm old and I don't understand this new stuff ... specifically how to ping someone."
I don't know about the "old" stuff as I am only 62 and went skydiving (tandem) just over a month ago, but I don't know how to ping ... can you or someone out there help me with that?
Thanks!
Did you down load a pinger yet?
That’s why men need wives - men never ask! LOL!!
It just means put my screen name in the TO: just like you do when responding - just send me the info. You can *ping* :-) a few freepers at the same time.
.........went skydiving (tandem) just over a month ago, but I don’t know how to ping
TRUST me, what you know/do is way more impressive than knowing how a ping. Side note: I never started a thread, not sure I’d know how to do it.
Now stay out of the sky! There’s nothing up there and you’ll only want to come back here anyway. LOL!
Thanks again.
GO JOE!! We are praying for a clear path for you to get this corruption exposed!! Make this a teachable moment for Lisa and her partners in crime! God bless America!!
