Just heard this on Shep. (Great intel....) Link to come when I find it.
“During a blogger conference call on Thursday, Alaska GOP Senate candidate Joe Miller accused Alaska’s lieutenant governor, Craig Campbell, of bias.
Miller, of course, is in the middle of a battle involving the counting of write-in votes for his opponent, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
During the call, Miller said:
“There are a number of fights that are going to have to be undertaken, in part, due to the fact that the division of elections [is] headed up by the lieutenant governor.
“The lieutenant governor is effectively the same [as] what you might see in other states as the secretary of state. His statements are policy. He was appointed by Murkowski . . . has connections to the Murkowski family. In fact, when he, last summer, spoke at the time Sean Parnell was sworn in as governor, spent five or 10 minutes praising the Murkowski family. It was really kind of a curious thing given the lack of popularity at the time of Frank Murkowski.
“But in any event, it appears that his bias is playing out in the decisions that he’s making, especially those that are directly contrary to the law.
One of the decisions Miller complained about on the call involves the decision not to count the votes of people who wrote in the name “Joe Miller.” Miller says Alaska statute requires those votes to be counted.”
Right McConnell not Boner..
You're cool with voter fraud?
Close votes abound up there in Alaska:

STA election results set for Saturday certification
Ed Ronco
SITKA, ALASKA (2010-11-18) The results of the Sitka Tribe of Alaska’s Tribal Council elections are scheduled to be certified on Saturday. The results were originally scheduled for certification during Wednesday’s (11-17-10) regular meeting of the Tribal Council, but a recount required that the certification be postponed.
The recount happened Monday after tribal council member Tom Gamble came within three votes of beating incumbent Woody Widmark for the tribal chairman’s position.

The way it is apparently working is that the election officials are counting votes. For example, election counter, “Here’s a vote for Miller.” Election Judge, “Who is that idiot.” Election counter, “Here’s another vote for Miller.” Election Judge, “That SOB voted twice, throw both votes out.”
$25
I can’t really afford it but I think my country needs someone to fight back againsyt ALL vote fraud.
Murkowski lost.
But she is trying to steal the election.
Stuff like sworn depositions and affidavits from election judges that ballot boxes were pre-stuffed prior to opening time on election day; stuff like voters exceeding registered populations in many areas.
For me, it’s speculation based primarily on instinct.
Miller strikes me as a man that wouldn’t waste his time in a fight unless there was a reason to believe he would win. It is entirely possible that he is working with information that is not available to us.
What a great day it would be if Miller pulls this off, especially if it’s by only a couple hundred votes. Even sweeter if he catches someone dirty in the process.
Hang tough, Joe. Don't let the 'Cow & cohorts steal this.
Miller asked the Elections officials in Alaska last week for the voter record sheets & the actual votes in every precinct to match up the numbers. IE: Record sheets show 357 signatures of people coming in to vote & therefore, vote tallies should total only 357——nothing higher. Only possible to have some lower if not every candidate was voted for.
In one precinct, ballots were delivered to the counting stations “Pre-sorted” by the polling staff.
That doesn’t hold water, either. The ballots are to be kept in the SEALED boxes & taken SEALED to the counting places. If any boxes were unsealed, that is very suspect. Again- need to match the signatures on the books with the total votes.
Elections officials are giving him a few ‘selected’ (by them) counts, but not everything.
One precinct declared that they had 100% of the registered voters in that precinct vote. Almost impossible—unless there are about 14 voters in that precinct. Just not the norm.
There is enough suspicion for a full recount- & look see at the names which were accepted by the election officials.
There should be no wavering on getting an exact name on the write in vote—wristbands were given out with Lisa’a name on them & the full list of write in candidates was in every polling place.
Alaska officials are weaving all over the place trying to give Lisa her victory.
It will come back to bite them hard if Miller can prove his contentions.
I find it hard to believe that will all the military votes that Miller lost.
Were all the military ballots sent out on time???
In the affidavit submitted Thursday afternoon, Miller said he believed the hand count of write-in votes had been conducted too early and more votes would likely have been challenged if his camp had had time to properly train observers.
“As a result, an indeterminate number of ballots with candidates’ names misspelled were counted without being challenged during the first several days of counting,” Miller stated.

That’s what Charlie Crist was hoping for but he crashed and burned.””
Charlie Crist lost by more than 1,000,000 votes. He also was NOT a write in where the spelling of his name would have mattered.
I’m glad he’s going for this. One thing nobody is taking into consideration is that the voting rules were changed AFTER the primary and just before the election.
Write-in candidates are supposed to be just that: you go in with your list and you them down. But something like a week or two before the election, they announced that there was going to be a printed write-in slate in order to get dumb Dems and RINOs to be able to spell Murkowski’s name with some semblance of recognizability.
This whole thing was illegal and manipulated from the get-go, and I think it’s good that he’s opposing it. And I will send cash - not much, but every bit helps.
“Murkowski lost.
But she is trying to steal the election.”
Isn’t that what all Marxists do?
Remember this?
“Senior Obama adviser has Alaska roots

He once helped run state government in Juneau, played shortstop in a local softball league, and he still votes as an Alaska resident.
But these days, Pete Rouse works in the White House, two doors from his close friend, President Barack Obama.
For 25 years as the consummate Democratic insider in the U.S. Senate, Rouse played a quiet role as the backdoor connection for Alaska’s all-Republican delegation to the other side of the aisle in Congress. He was the longtime chief of staff for Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., the one-time Senate majority leader, and starting in 2004 Rouse took on the same job for a promising young freshman senator from Illinois.
Today, as special adviser to Obama, Rouse is in the innermost circle of the West Wing. His office sits between chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and senior adviser David Axelrod.
“It’s only been four years here, this trip from freshman senator,” the 62-year-old Rouse said in an telephone interview earlier this month , breaking from his usual low-profile to talk about his Alaska ties. “It has been an interesting ride. I feel pretty invested in it.”
His Alaska roots run deeper than those of almost anyone reading these words. His mother, the daughter of Japanese immigrants, grew up in Anchorage starting in World War I, when it was a railroad construction town. His cousin was the longtime municipal attorney for the City of Palmer.
But Rouse himself was born on the East Coast and had never been west of Denver when he flew to Alaska in late 1978 to visit a friend, Alaska’s newly elected Republican lieutenant governor, Terry Miller.
Rouse ended up working as Miller’s chief of staff for the final four years of Gov. Jay Hammond’s administration. It was a great experience, Rouse said, a time when Juneau was filled with young idealists eager to grapple with the state’s new oil money, infrastructure need and unformed social policies.
“Juneau at the time was 19,000 people, but it was really a town on the move in terms of young, well-educated people excited by these policy issues,” he recalled.
The ambitious young staffer returned to Washington, D.C., in 1983 and worked for Democrats in the Senate ever since. For a while, he imagined returning to Alaska if Miller ever managed to win a race for governor. The dream faded; Miller died of bone cancer in 1989, at age 46. Rouse’s last visit to Juneau was to attend his old friend’s memorial.
Rouse continued to keep many personal ties in Alaska — along with his voter registration. In last November’s presidential race, records show, the man who would co-lead Obama’s transition team voted absentee in Juneau.
Rouse declined to discuss his voter registration.
Legally he appears to be on fairly secure footing. Voters are allowed to maintain registration here if they don’t vote elsewhere and intend to return someday. They are also excused if they are working somewhere in civil service of the United States — a description that pretty much encapsulates Rouse’s career. (He does not show up on Alaska Permanent Fund dividend records.)
“Residency for voting purposes is very broad in Alaska law,” said Shelley Growden, a supervisor with the state Division of Elections....”

Not to mention he has Mark Levin on his side.
Crossing my fingers, too.
Close votes happen all over the United States....in counties and cities everywhere....not just Alaska.
