I asked the same question, both of us forgot the obvious one.
Frank Murkwowsi in Alaska in 2006 came in THIRD with just 19% to 50.6% for Palin and 30% for another guy.
Anyway, the 2 outstanding precincts in the state are supposed to vote on Friday but rat Senate challenger Colleen Hanabusa is suing to prevent that, says too many people are still without power and water and won’t be able to make it to the polls. According to what I’ve read, the area favors her opponent, the appointed White incumbent Schatz, and will only increase his lead, so I don’t know what she’s doing.
The rat Senate drama would be delcious, if we had a strong GOP candidate, which we don’t.
The Governorship is another story, Duke Aiona (R) leads in the polls over Ige.
“Duke Aiona (R) leads in the polls over Ige.”
Well that’s interesting, and I’d *thought* I’d heard something like that a while ago, but not a peep from the pundits in all the recent discussion of this primary.
I think that woman is being silly, if the area really favors her opponent, she should want the vote to be now - if she thinks things are really still disrupted.
But, she’s probably just another lying liar and what she’s hoping is time will pass and folks will forget about voting.
Good call on Murkowski, yet the daughter is still in office, eh?
Even if the two precincts that haven’t voted favor Shatz, Hanabusa is wise to try to ensure a higher turnout: she’s down by 1,600 votes, and unless she has reason to believe that there was a problem with the count in the rest if the state that, if corrected, will make up the deficit, she somehow needs to net 1,600 votes in those two precincts, which is easier done with a turnout of 20,000 (where she would need 54% of the vote) than with a turnout of 10,000 (where she would need 58%).
