From Sean Cockerham at the Alaska Division of Elections office in Anchorage --
Update, 11:10 a.m.: Joe Miller's lead over Lisa Murkowski narrowed from 1,668 votes to 1,325 with the first count of absentee ballots this morning.
It looks like 2,391 votes were counted in this first batch. They're from Districts 17 through 26, all Anchorage.
More numbers to come.

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.

Murkowski, Lisa REP 48949 49.35%
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.
Murkowski RUMORED to be ready to concede:

Waiting on Frontier? I remember those days
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.
Thanks for the ping.
Fingers crossed for Joe.
See link in 246.
Partial results in with Murkowski picking up 2 (TWO) votes on Miller. LOL
It ain't gonna be pretty!
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.
Yes! Three of us posted the same “breaking news”, but mine got got pulled - I was too slow I guess, because Iincluded the photo...lol.. but I included the photo when Ipinged Sarah ping list.

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.
Joe is on. Says he is waiting for Friday results.
partial results from where? I’d guess Juneau and not Fairbanks.
