I don’t get the math. In order to bring the race to a tie using 31000 absentee ballots, Miller would need to win them 29000 to 2000.

According to the "article", Miller's vote total is trailing "Write-in" by 13,500. 31,000 absentee ballots minus 13,500 equals 17,500. So Miller needs to obtain 17500 MORE votes from the absentee ballots than "Write-in".

By what logic does one assume ALL write ins go to Murkowski?
