A Vote For Scott McAdams is a Vote for Lisa Murkowski?

Yesterday, once the write-in votes had been counted, it would seem to the causal reader that Murkowski has won.

But did she? Here is part of an e-mail that was sent by Bill, an observer for the Miller campaign.

the title of the pictures speak for themselves. in the Penny Mayo picture, it shows an X over Lisa's filled in oval, and this was counted for Lisa. I personally witnessed a case where Joe's oval was filled in, with an X over it, and Lisa filled in too. She called it for Lisa, the logic being, "the other ovals were filled in normally, so the one for Lisa must be the one that's the right vote, so Joe's doesn't count.

So one time the X-'d oval over Joe = Lisa vote !

The other time with the X-'d oval over Lisa = Lisa vote

Murcowshit = Lisa vote ! Muskisk = Lisa vote !

As Bill stated, the pictures speak for themselves.

As you can see a vote for McAdams wound up being a challenged vote for Murkowski. And you have to ask, what happened with the ballot that has the blue ink written in when the voter used a black pen? The vote was counted for Lisa Murkowski which contradicts how the Alaska Division of Elections counted the oval crossed out next to Murkowski's name.

Moreover, the vote count on Monday, had Joe Miller at 90448 and the current vote tally is the same. According to observers, there were write-in votes for Joe Miller, but they were not counted.

The count stands at 102028 and given the State of Alaska did not count any absentee ballots today, you have to ask, how did the State of Alaska come up with the 103569 figure with no new ballots coming in?

According to a very reliable source, the vote total of 92715 for Murkowski seems to have a doubled count tally of 1501 votes that were challenged but not counted.

The reason for the challenge was, the votes did not have the oval filled in. Moreover, it seems the Alaska Division of Election and Murkowski want to disenfranchise the people in the military because there are overseas ballots that remain to be counted and they favor Joe Miller

So right now, Murkowski's vote total of 92715 should have 1501 votes deducted which would bring her tally to 91214. And when you take the 91214 and subtract Joe Miller's (yesterday's unchanged) count of 90448, the vote count has Murkowski ahead by 666. (Ohh boy, find a voter exorcist in a court of law to exorcise the demons found in the vote tally.)

And if a court rules in Joe's favor, expect Murkowski's head to spin.
