There is just no way that only 2 percent of ballots would be spoiled, incorrectly completed, grossly misspelled, defective, or otherwise uncountable. That is just not within the margin of error, human error, for this kind of endeavor. Think about all the idiots in Florida who could not correctly complete a ballot in 2000 when we were new to this site. Sorry DO this level of accuracy is just not possible. Again, not saying Miller will win, not by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just that human error will not allow these kind of margins. It’s not possible.
" Update, 1:46 p.m.
The first batch of numbers is out and they show 89 percent of the write-ins counted so far were perfect for Lisa Murkowski.
Out of 7,638 write-ins counted just 67 wrote in someone other than Murkowski.
The Division of Elections says 6,804 votes were unchallenged for Murkowski, representing 89.08 percent of ballots counted.
Another 678 of the ballots were challenged but the challenge was overruled by the Division. Those are considered to be "challenged but counted," and will be reviewed in the expected recount with the courts having the final say.
There were only 89 successful challenges of Murkowski votes. That represents just 1.17 percent of the ballots counted."
Well, we have two different thoughts on that. I’m not here to say I’m right though. You could very well be proven to be right.
I appreciate you taking the time to explain your thoughts.
