We will be monitoring closely the vote counting by the State. Already we’ve heard a few interesting reports at precincts that don’t make much sense.

For example, in the North Slope village of Wainwright, the Division of Elections doesn’t show a single vote for me, while the Libertarian candidate got 90, the non-partisan candidate received 84 and Senator Stevens got 8. That just defies common sense. I flat out won five of the other seven villages on the North Slope.

Before this election, we set up a legal team to monitor the vote counting and that team is in place to make sure every vote is counted properly.

It’s a little unclear to us when the outstanding votes will be counted. Some have said it could be as late as November 21st. We hope it doesn’t take that long.

6. Alaska has been and will continue to be

a place where election results could easily be manipulated to favor Republican candidates because we have been so solidly red for so long. I believe it happened in the case of Tony Knowles v. Lisa Murkowski for sure. How else does it make sense that we passed a referendum outlawing gubernatorial appointments to vacant senate seats and then turn around and elect Lisa. It just doesn't make sense.

It's astonishing to me that every single one of the polls conducted up here was so off. Granted, they came out in droves in the Valley, but it seems like pollsters would have taken that into account.

I don't know, but I'm glad Mark's keeping an eye on it.

It is pretty obvious what is going on here, at least Begich is paying attention.
