Another Alaska Paper Says Republican To Win After Remaining Votes Get Counted
The Daily Caller ^ | November 10, 2014 | Patrick Howley

Republican Dan Sullivan is expected to defeat Democratic Sen. Mark Begich in the final vote count in the Alaska Senate race, according to an analysis by a reporter for Alaska Public Radio Network.

Reporter Alexandra Gutierrez’s analysis arrived at the same conclusion as an analysis conducted by Alaska News-Miner. Begich would reportedly need to win more than 56 percent of the uncounted votes to overtake Sullivan.

Sullivan led Begich by 8,149 votes after Election Day last week, but Begich refused to concede. The Democrat is waiting on more than 21,000 uncounted absentee ballots, allegedly from rural areas where the mail is slower, and plans to question some other votes. But as The Daily Caller reported, information leaking out of official state sources showed that many of the absentee votes that were not counted on Election Day are not coming from rural areas but are actually coming from cities including Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Democrat-friendly Juneau.

The Alaska Division of Elections will begin counting the uncounted votes Tuesday.

He hasn’t conceded yet, but even some of his allies are resigned to his loss. It’s only a matter of time.

What has happened to all those “unsigned” ballots, or those various blank ballots in someone’s car trunk?

All I know is that over a hundred dems were brought up here 3 weeks before the election, sent out to the villages to make sure every Indian or Eskimo that could vote filled out their ballots; or more than likely the village leaders filled them out

This is EXACTLY how Heidi Heitkamp won her Senate seat here in North Dakota. The Democrats headed out to the Indian reservations with promises of federal largess and bought their votes with your tax dollars. She eked out a 3,000 vote victory.

Not in this state. I’m just worried about the fraud right off the bat.

Do these dog sleds have trunks? Democrats unloaded mystery ballots by the trunk load in King County when they manufactured the win for Christine (the Queen) Gregoire over Dino Rossi.

In the court battle, the Republicans fell on the sword and gave up their pathetic effort to pursue a win for the overtaxed and over regulated people of Washington State. Seems like those same Democrats jump up to Alaska in time for a quick hunt and screwing up the election.

Remember when Palin would talk about the Repub ole network up here. They are about untouchable and for that reason unaccountable too. There’s more Repubs overall, but ethnic groups of dems like the Indians. The dems see those votes just waiting to be cultivated with promises of money flowing after election. The Repubs never go after those votes, even though there have always been Repub Native Representatives & Senators in state politics. The Repub leadership sees themselves above the native vote, unreal.

Sarah’s pet rat, Walker, is not an independent, he’s a RINO turned defacto rat and his LT was the rat nominee for Governor till he dropped out with rat party approval and illegally became Walker’s running mate.

Walker=Orman Same thing

He will govern like Tony Knowles.

Any hope for Conservative Governor Sean Parnell? AK Governor is like a tiny piece of dog feces on our delicious election day sundae.
