************UPDATED NUMBERS*****************

BEGICH NOW AHEAD BY 1061 VOTES!!!!!

That was the last update of the day and I’m guessing the numbers went down a little bit because Fairbanks and Mat Su Valley finished their counting.

Exciting news in Fairbanks…Republican Representative Mike Kelley (District 7)is only ahead of Democrat Karl Kassel by one vote! So, there will probably be at least one recount!

Remember, overseas absentee ballots can arrive up through Nov. 19th!

Per my phone calls to the Division of Elections:

Region 1: Juneau is done for the day but will be doing their final count (we hope) on Tuesday Nov. 18th.
Region 2: Mat Su Valley–DONE
Anchorage will be finishing their count on Tuesday Nov. 18th as well.
Region 3: Prince William Sound–DONE
Region 4: Aleutians, Western AK, North Slope–DONE

I need more cayenne for my nails!

I am so relieved by this. The idea that Alaska would reelect a convicted felon to the Senate was truly disturbing.

The Longest Line

On Election Day, 2004, election fraud was epidemic in Ohio (and throughout the nation). Would-be Democratic voters were impeded or disabled by the thousands, especially (though not only) in the inner cities and in college towns.

Bush/Cheney's drive to block the vote was particularly flagrant in Gambier, Ohio, home of Kenyon College. While student voters at nearby religious schools had quite an easy time of it, Kenyon's students had to wait for hours and hours and hours. Those long lines sooned turned out to have been purposely created, through the deliberate under-supply of working e-voting machinery to the polling sites at Kenyon. (The same thing happened all throughout the state and nationwide.)

After the election, Kenyon students wrote up an account of what they went through on that day and very late into the night. It's called The Longest Line. As it did not receive its due attention--and as we're heading toward another presidential race--I offer it to you for download here.
