let’s recap.
Elections officials have stated that they do not require correct spelling (but voter intent). Hence, “senator Lisa” would likely qualify.
The current stats:
Write-ins (including Murkowski): 83,201 (41%)
Miller 69,762 (34%)
Dem-loser (48,034 (24%)
It is likely that 90-95% of write-ins go for Murkowski (about 75,000). That would be a lead of about 6,000 votes.
There are 31,000 absentee ballots to be counted.
I think absentee voting began before Miller’s scandals emerged (he admitted lying, unethical things relating his previous employement) so he is likely to get more votes than Murkowksi.
So, let me make sure I have this straight. Worst case scenario Murky leads Miller by 13439. There are 31000 absentee votes (some of which are military). If Miller gets more votes than the total of “write in” then the election is over. No need to count Murky at all, correct?
So,
Murky 83201 +Absentee
Miller 69762 +Absentee
Is this all correct?
