Those votes were from a Democrat area, it seems

1387 new total votes cast
Miller got 353
Murk got 355
the rest were presumably Democrat.

If those are Juneau, good results for Miller.

I agree. Seems like “our” candidates always lose when the absentees are counted. Personally, I detest absentee voting and early voting, because there’s too much chance of manipulation and it takes too long to determine a winner. I was in favor of absentee voting when a voter was legitimately going to be away from home, but now it has just become a matter of conenience.

Oops, meant to say his lead hasn't changed since 5:30 p.m. and I assume they've been counting since then. There must be another site with better updates as the suspense is killing me.

She’s done better in this round but it doesn’t look like she did well enough to win.

A concession would sure be a stress reliever.

More confirmation that it’s likely over for Lisa via a Judy Woodruff Tweet:

Joe Miller will be on Mark Levin’s program in about 10 minutes,

Also Murkowski may be ready to concede.

http://www.elections.alaska.gov/results/10PRIM/data/results.htm

The above is the results page. Note the time in the upper right hand corner. Right now, it’s 302. When the new results are in, the time will change. If it says 302, we have those results already.

Every so often a new block of votes comes in. After that,
the Anchorage paper, Sean Cockerham, reports the results that we already have from the above link, and tells us where the votes were from and other pieces of useful information.
