[AK] Alaska Senate Race 2010 Results

Alaska Senate Race 2010 Results. The 2010 Alaska senate race results won't be available for days ... perhaps even weeks. Why is that? In a very historic move, the Alaska Senate race was won by "write-in." However, whether or not a write-in candidate actually will serve in office depends on whether or not all of the votes were cast for the same candidate.

Lisa Murkowski is the supposed winner, although if she ties with Joe Miller there will need to be a runoff.

Miller beat Murkowski during the primaries, although recent scandals could have harmed Joe Miller's ability to make it to Washington. His nomination for the GOP candidacy made headlines as he beat out an incumbent.

The Alaska Senate race results are going to be historic, when they become available.

[AK] Alaska Election Results 2010 [SENATE]

[AK] Alaska Election Results 2010 [SENATE] The Alaska Senate race won't be over for quite some time. It appears as if the candidate "write-in" has won the majority of the votes, meaning that all of the ballots must go to the state's capital to be hand counted and verified.

This becomes a subjective mess, and one we can thank incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski for. She lost the GOP nomination to Joe Miller, a Tea Party favorite who had the endorsement of Sarah Palin during the primaries.

Lisa Murkowski ran as a write-in, and showcased that the GOP isn't as united as they should be given that we are in the worst of times.

Joe Miller, had Murkowski not won, would likely be heading to Washington. However, I can't blame Murkowski for trying to keep her job.

All that being said, it has to be verified that the votes were in favor of Lisa. However do you really doubt that the majority of the votes aren't for her?
