A recount seems justified primarily for two reasons:

1. Exit polls showed Tony Knowles winning (50 - 47 %) http://www.politicalstrategy.org/archives/000738.php, but in the results he lost by a significant margin.
2. Alaska has an efficient and up-to-date voting system. Nevertheless, no system is foolproof. Optical scan machines like those used in Alaska have generated anomalous results in Florida and elsewhere and were targeted in the New Hampshire recount (which, by the way, is showing in that case that the machines were reasonably accurate. www.boston.com but that there were some anomalies (article in the Nation).

for more information about Nov. 2 election results and voting technology, see our new info page:

In order to request a recount, the candidate or group requesting the recount must pay a deposit of $10,000. This must be done within 5 days of the official announcment of election results. This means that the money must be collected and ready to give to the Division of Elections by 5 pm, Wednesday, December 8!

2. Will Knowles ask for a recount?

Hope so! Maybe he has $10 000 sitting in his campaign account?

My solution?

My message is--elect Democrats every 2 months---

Here's how we can paint Alaska and South Dakota Ultra-Blue! This will work for any state in the USA--do this in your state- start an UDO group!

After the election, I decided to change things. I decided we needed to have our own elections-- 6 times a year!

Check out UDO!
