They’ll probably find a voting machine in a closet somewhere that has uncounted votes, or about 20,000 uncounted “ballots” in the trunk of a car belonging to a poll worker.

Happens all the time....

....And how difficult is it to REALLY duplicate a post mark on an envelope. I’d say it could be EASILY done. It’s just a stamp mark. lol

Good idea.. Todd Palin would make an excellent Senator..
Doubt the “want to” is there though..

The boy goes to Washington D.C. might SHOOT somebody..
OR beat the snot out of them... and then shoot them.. a few times..

Is it possible for a post mark to be forged or tampered with?

How does a post mark work?

Al Franken will send up 2 or 3 thousand that he still has in his car trunk.

We live on the Upper Yukon, 4 miles from the border. Dems sent teams into almost every village, door to door rousing the Indians who often don't vote, got them to vote early. Promises & promises of goodies to come if Begich wins, no joke. Same thing happened with Lisa's write in a couple years back and she won. The way things work, and Indians understand the filthy game too. Dems really got the Native vote out 3 weeks before the election. All my Indian friends up and down the Yukon and in Fairbanks filled me. They are expecting a windfall of spending in the villages too. They said the Natives are all voting for Begich. I got 3 of my Indian buddies to vote Repub after talking about gun control enough.

What bothers me is the Repubs didn't give a hoot about rural areas all the while for 3 weeks, I got 2-3 calls a night telling me awful stories about Sullivan. Dems were really calling everybody out in the sticks. Indians stick together and most of them voted for Begich, bad part is 50% of them never vote and their tribal leaders made sure their ballots were filled out this year.

It will be close, but me thinks the REpubs have it and more importantly they think so too; they pretty much precisely have a good idea how many people voted and which way it should go, no joke.

What bothers me is I got maybe 3 calls from Repubs before election, got hundred calls from those dirty Dems. If Repubs lose this one, it's their own fault for not investing in early voting like the dems did. I even tried calling repub headquarters 2 weeks before election to mention to them what was going on and they said they knew all about it.

Actually, a couple cases of cheap vodka to each village would have reversed the dems hard work, but then the dems probably had booze with them too, ha ha.

No, unfortunately not. See #48. Lisa Murkowski won her write-in vote with the help of Eskimo votes.

I’m not saying anything against the Eskimos as such. But when you’ve got one side offering lots of gravy, and the other side stupidly ignoring them, it’s hard to resist.

Alaska Senate - 100.00% reporting

Dan Sullivan 48.96% Republican 110,203

Mark Begich 45.34% Democrat 102,054

Looks like a real stretch for Begich to pull this off, unless he pulls a Franken at which time 1000 lawyers show up. . or has Priebus already sent them? Hope so.

Don Young, Republican of Alaska, is the longest serving member of congress. He has to run a statewide election every two years. One would think Sullivan would get the same votes from the villages that Young got.

“Alaska is a Republican state, so it will be much harder for RATS to steal this election. Also, Alaska has boroughs, not counties”

Not so sure about that, Alaska just passed recreational marijuana. And the Governor just elected has no Party Affiliation beating the Republican. SOunds like the citizens are on a a Losertarian bender.

8000 votes is an awfully big fraud hurdle, especially in a sparsely populated state. I’m not saying they won’t try. I’m saying that I doubt they’re that talented. This isn’t an episode of “Scandal.”

They sent out another 12,541 absentee ballots and if postmarked by November 4th, ballots can arrive legally 15 days after the election and still be properly counted.

Democrats are busy stealing this one

15 days? That’s pretty slow mail service.
