If you want to see our last TEA party Senate candidate win help Joe Miller after reading this report.
A source on the ground in Alaska close to Joe Miller’s campaign has provided this information which is being smothered by the main stream media.
The Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) is asking the Justice Department to send an election observer to Juneau to help them to force illegitimate votes into the final tally of the race between Sen. Lisa Murkowski and her TEA party backed challenger attorney Joe Miller who defeated her in a GOP primary.
Despite the AFN’s reasonable sounding request, this is merely a pretense to violate Alaska election law, something that has become a hallmark of this election from the close of the polls on primary night.
At issue is a quantity of ballots cast by AFN members with various incorrect spellings of Murkowski’s name. The AFN is insisting that “voter intend” be employed to count such ballots thus creating its own interpretation of Alaska which says just the opposite.
Miller is merely insisting on following state law, which is the constitutionally binding authority in the matter. Alaskan statute 15.15.360. states a vote “shall be counted if the oval is filled in for that candidate and if the name, as it appears on the write-in declaration of candidacy, of the candidate or the last name of the candidate is written in the space provided.”
The statute continues with “there are no exceptions” to this statute; “A ballot may not be counted unless marked in compliance with these rules.”
Murkowski’s AFN stooges know very well that Barack Obama wants Murkowski to win so he can mitigate some of the losses he took in the Senate last week. Murkowski has been ambivalent about where her loyalties will lie should she be returned to office.
This election is clearly between the same crooks that Sarah Palin kicked out of office and the Alaska TEA party. This is a desperate effort to keep the corrupt Murkowski/Stevens machine in power.
Democrat and “Native” hands all over this
In several AFN villages where the Democrat registration is 100%, Murkowski got 100% of the write-ins cast. The Natives in Alaska live largely off the federal dole in one form or another.
They are the ones who are credited with encouraging Murkowski to run as a write in. They have received $23 billion in NO BID federal contracts in the last ten years and they don’t look forward to having to fight a Senator Miller for earmarks they can buy with a few thousand write in votes.
Alaska’s Lt. Governor Craig Campbell, who conspicuously thanked Frank Murkowski for giving him his start in politics, agrees with Murkowski’s “Natives” insistence upon “voter intent” in violation of his own State’s law. On the ground reports reveal that Miller is still in an excellent position to beat the Murkowski/Stevens and Campbell attempt to steal this election.
A large number of uncounted absentee ballots and the trend of already counted ones favoring Miller with 60%, plus the fact that the percentage of invalidated write-in ballots is currently running at 12% which is well above the average of 5%, suggests that if Miller is successful in forcing the State of Alaska to follow its own election laws (sounds bizarre doesn’t it?) he will win.
There are enough absentee ballots to overcome the number of certifiable write ins provided the improperly prepared ones are thrown out as the law requires. This is where we can help. Alaska is huge. Getting around up there means flying which is expensive.
If you have worked for your own TEA party candidate, if you have contributed to a TEA party candidate, if you believe that allowing Murkowski to win is a win for Obama and a loss for America, please send Joe Miller money. We have stood shoulder to shoulder and won a lot more than we lost. This is our last assignment in our mission to save America. Go to: http://joemiller.us/
I agree. And, I understand from what reading I’ve done that Military, and I think also overseas, ballots are supposed to be counted on the 17th. Then again, the election division seems to want to write it’s own laws as the election goes on. This count taking place now wasn’t supposed to start until the 12th, I believe.
Unfortunately, the judge ruled not to stop the count.

It looks like Murkinskew needs just over 82/93 (88.4%) of the write in votes to count for her. If there are 11% or less that are invalid, she wins. If there are 12% or more invalid, she loses.
folks we're only talking 6000 votes here...toss 3000 of Cows votes due to wrong name,etc...toss 1000 for Daffy Duck...and pick up 2000 or so absenttee or military....IF still uncounted...
definately a winnable race
we're only talking 6000 votes hereThe deficit to make up is approximately 10000 to "write-in". The UN-contested ballots are right at the percent that will produce a tie (about 11% contested or not for Murkowski). If she gets a sympathetic court, she will win easily as the contested ballots are more than enough.
They changed the rules mid-game.
Murkowski knew the rules which is why she had all those commericals telling voters how to spell her name.
