According to NewsMax.com, “Here’s a breakdown of votes counted in the Alaska Senate race, as of the end of counting Wednesday:
Total number of votes for GOP nominee Joe Miller: 81,195
Total write-in votes to be counted: 92,528
Total counted Wednesday: 19,203
Total counted so far: 19,203
Undisputed votes counted for U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski: 17,134
Challenged ballots counted for Murkowski: 1,629
So far Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski appears to have an unchallenged 89% of the write-in votes. If that rate continues, she wins 82,558 vs. 81,195 even without attributing challenged ballots.
It appears that former governor Sarah Palin’s endorsement in her native state of Alaska isn’t sufficient to elect the only Republican on the ballot! They know Palin best.
