Joe Miller: "The race is far from over"

From the Anchorage Daily News:

The Alaska U.S. Senate race hasn't been decided, Republican Joe Miller said this morning. His campaign issued a statement saying he "remains optimistic" that he'll be "the next U.S. senator from the state of Alaska."

The state mailed more than 30,000 absentee ballots but won't begin counting them until next Tuesday. Until those are counted, it's premature for the race to be considered a Murkowski victory, the Miller campaign said.

"With tens of thousands of absentee votes yet to be counted, and the disposition of the write-in ballots cast unknown, who will be Alaska's next United States Senator is yet to be determined," said Miller's spokesman, Randy DeSoto. "We will all have to have some patience as we allow the Division of Elections to complete the ballot counting process."
