3. ADN (AK Daily news)
Edited on Wed Nov-17-10 03:59 PM by katanalori
reporting that Miller is now demanding a HAND COUNT of ALL ballots (expensive and time-consuming). Miller not conceding, blaming the machines now.

edited to add link and to note that the Sec. of State has not yet certified Lisa as the winner (though I suspect Joe's bag of tricks is close to empty):

http://www.adn.com/2010/11/16/1557873/murkowskis-lead-more-than-10000.html

second edit (sorry) - from what I gather from reader responses at ADN, the Lt. Gov. has to certify the election, NOT sec. of State.
Who knows? Randy deSoto (Miller's campaign manager) and Miller want ALL ballots to be hand counted - but that looks like a lost cause. Who will Miller sue next, the Associated Press? Stay tuned.

5. Good for her
She may be Teap - but I'll congratulate any INTELLIGENT woman on her win.

And the stick in the eye to Palinstan is worth it.
