I hope the senator’s remaining time in DC is utterly miserable.

So, absentee voters are going to be disenfranchised?

Joe Miller should not concede until every last vote has been counted, and that includes the absentee ballots.

I thought they weren’t counting the military absentee votes until Friday.

Miller needs to take this to court. The Division of Elections is ignoring Alaska’s legal requirement that absentee votes must be correctly spelled.

If you want to go by “intent,” you have to change the law first.

It seems as if the Murkowski camp (AND the compliant media) are putting out lots of “the counting is over and we won” reports in hopes that Miller will concede. Starting tomorrow, I predict, they’ll start with “if he cares about what’s good for Alaska, he’d concede” nonsense like they did with Bush in 2000.

> I thought they weren’t counting the military absentee votes until Friday.

MooKow and her gleeful RINO minions are trying to pressure Miller into conceding.

Pray that he doesn’t until the military votes are counted.

That any Alaskan would vote for MooKow trash speaks badly for that Alaskan.

That so many in Alaska would vote for that piece of trash speaks badly of Alaska.

Mr. Saul can dispense with the drama - everyone know this is how it was going to turn out when it was contested.

But we'll be watching ol' murky up there in DC and letting her know what we think of RINO's at every opportunity.

Why are there so many Murkowski loyalists in the first place since she lost the ticket to Miller. Something is not right.

The cheating is almost done, and the judges in Alaska appear to be crooked (Murkowski’s father was behind their appointments).

I hope Miller takes this all the way to SCOTUS if necessary. Princess Lisa is indescribably horrible.

Thank you, Republican leadership, for making nice and refusing to remove her from her committee assignments. If this woman gets in, I hope she makes your life miserable.

Joe should have enough retired military vets willing to investigate the voter fraud.

I sure have to agree with you.

This is just like 2000. They can’t overcome the spelling rule just because they say so.

IIRC, Gore was never ahead in the count, so anyone who said Bush ought to concede was sending water up a rope.

Only if you're a legislator. If you're a judge all you have to do is rule. And they do. :(

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.
