If it ends up Miller with a slight win, I hope he’s got the lawyers handy for the recount!

Thanks, ladybug!

He’s leading by 2.4% with 36.5% reporting.
SPLENDID!
Not only that — I’m looking at the precincts that have reported — looks like at least 1/3 of the Anchorage precincts are in. Am listening, also, to the returns as reported on KSKA (the local Anchorage public radio station). You can just tell that they are “shocked! shocked!” at what’s happening. They keep saying “We can’t tell where they’re from.” Well, if they’d just look at what’s being reported on the State’s election returns web site, they would know.
Earlier in the evening, they reported that Lisa was supposed to win handily in Anchorage and of course in Juneau and the rest of Southeast. I wonder — don’t they know that Juneau & Southeast are the homes of lots of registered Democrats who can’t even vote in the Republican primary.
There are still lots of Bush precincts that are out, however.
Remember when they “found” all the ballots that put Hammond over 20+ years ago?
Thanks!!......Keep us posted as long as you can! much appreciated!
They can still “find” a lot of ballots. It’s still early.
