Why are there so many Murkowski loyalists in the first place since she lost the ticket to Miller. Something is not right.
Good question!
The General Election totals are around 184,000.
But the primary total was only 104,346. See below:
Murkowski’s concession came after a day of counting just over 17,000 absentee and questioned ballots. Nearly 12,000 of them were from Republican primary voters, who had the potential to change the Miller-Murkowski race. But when the day was done, Murkowski had only picked up 38 votes and Miller’s lead was 1,630 votes. He had a total of 52,988 votes to 51,358 for Murkowski.
