Alaska: 98% of write-in votes so far are going to Murkowski

[^_^ 5,021]

The Division of Elections has reviewed write-in ballots for almost half the precincts in Alaska and is counting nearly 98 percent of them for Lisa Murkowski. The Murkowski campaign is acting confident of victory and is accusing Joe Miller of taking "desperate" measures to try to win.

...

The Miller campaign on Thursday continued to object to how the ballots are being counted. Fenumiai, the state elections director, said she's accepting minor misspellings on the write-in ballots and that "if I can pronounce the name by the way it's spelled, that's the standard I'm using."

Miller's lawsuit argues that state law doesn't allow that.

Yep. When all the ballots are read, the Republican will beat the Republican. The best that can happen, is that the election gets certified in time to seat an Alaskan senator on January 3rd.

Aye, but with the National Republican Senatorial Committee throwing a ton of money at Miller's effort to cheat Murkowski out of what appears to be inevitable victory, how loyal will she really be?

Every Senator fancies themselves either a King/Queen or a King maker, so, how loyal are any of them?
