Joe Miller defeated Lisa Murkowski in the primaries but Murkowski was running a write-in campaign.
So far here are the election results for the Alaska Senate Race:
- Joe Miller has 68,288 votes, which make up 34% of the votes that have been reported.
- Scott McAdams has 47,414 votes, which make up 24% of the votes that have been reported.
- There have been 81,876 write in votes, which are mostly expected to be for Lisa Murkowski, make up 41% of the votes that have been reported.
As it stands now it looks as though Joe Miller may lose the race to Lisa Murkowski if the vast majority of the write-in votes are indeed for Murkowski. The counting of the write-in ballot names won’t begin until November 18.
