Murkowski's lead more than 10,000 votes
Anchorage Daily News ^ | 11/16/10 | SEAN COCKERHAM

Posted on 11/16/2010 6:52:07 PM PST by rhema

Today's review of write-in ballots ended with Sen. Lisa Murkowski enjoying an apparently insurmountable 10,420-vote lead over Joe Miller.

Murkowski also now has collected more votes that went unchallenged by Miller ballot observers than Miller's total vote count. That makes it appear as though Miller's lawsuit to seeking to toss out misspelled votes is irrelevant, since there aren't enough of those for him to win.

The Division of Elections has now counted a total of 100,868 votes for Murkowski. Miller has 90,448.

Some states should enact sore loser rules where these draculas cannot keep on the ballot if they lose a primary.

So she's ended up with 92,715 unchallenged votes, which is still more than Miller's total of 90,448.

Murkowski is leading even among just the undisputed ballots?

Oh, look here in the corner! A bag with 9000 neatly stacked and folded ballots for Murkowski. And look how neatly her name is printed on each one.

What a crock of shit. Nobody gets tossed from the primaries and comes up winning by that kind of margin without a lot of dirty tricks and flat out cheating.

What about Joe Lieberman vs. Ned Lamont in 2006?

So the Alaska democRATS voted for Murkowsky since they knew their own rat had no chance to beat Miller. Well I Miller runs against the other Alaska senator Beggach next term. It looks like we’ll never get rid of Murkowsky now.

Just when Pelosi wanders off to the sidelines, this idiot moves to center stage.

"Some states should enact sore loser rules where these draculas cannot keep on the ballot if they lose a primary."

That would be anti-democratic (small d). It does show where Kalifornia's open primaries will take us. It allows a party to choose the candidates for the 'other' party because I am willing to bet that many Alaska dems abandoned their own candidate and voted for Lisa M which allowed her to win over Miller.

Anyone ever wonder why so many people say it just not worth voting?

I am not one of them. But these kind of shenanigans certainly increase voter dissatisfaction.

You can if you get a ton of RATS to vote for you!

Ton = ten thousand. I thought the vote was a lot closer, like around 2000.
