From Sean Cockerham at the Alaska Division of Elections office in Anchorage --

Update, 11:10 a.m.: Joe Miller's lead over Lisa Murkowski narrowed from 1,668 votes to 1,325 with the first count of absentee ballots this morning.

It looks like 2,391 votes were counted in this first batch. They're from Districts 17 through 26, all Anchorage.

More numbers to come.

Not that LOL, they don’t use punch cards (optical scanners).

But I couldn’t say, it could be very many things.

for reference, before AB counting began today:

Miller 47,027 votes to
Murkowski 45,359

current totals:
Miller 49888 50.66%
Murkowski, 48594

today’s vote:
Miller 2861
Murk 3235 53%
only 6000 counted, but Murk not doing well enough to pull it off.

aphid!

Is that the bombshell that Joe Miller’s campaign filed against?

OR is this another one?

Update, 1:45 p.m.:

Votes from South Anchorage just helped Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski narrow Joe Miller’s lead to 1,294 votes with about half of today’s count of absentee and questioned ballots done.

Miller started off the day with a 1,668 vote lead.

The Alaska Division of Elections plans to count about 14,000 votes today. There will be at least 11,000 more additional ones to process for additional counts scheduled for Friday and for Sept. 8.

We’re done with the Anchorage count for today, although Anchorage questioned ballots (at least about 3,000) and a small number of Anchorage absentees remain to be counted on a later day. Most the Mat-Su absentees have also been counted as part of today’s tally, although there an additional at least 1,200 questioned ballots from Mat-Su to be counted on a later day.

Juneau started counting at 1 p.m. and we should be getting its results soon. Fairbanks will start counting at 3 p.m.

You would think that a country that at one time could put a man on the moon could get vote counting correct.Not about getting it correct, it is about getting the desired result.

“The count is to include 496 ballots from the Laurel/Dowling area

Let me guess. 495 ballots were for Murkowski and the overall votes amounted to 110% of registered voters.

60% for Lisa seems pretty good for her, totally unexpected and not in pattern with what happened last Tuesday.
