Miller clings to slim lead over Murkowski

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski was battling for her political life against Republican challenger Joe Miller in early primary election returns on Tuesday night.

Miller was leading Murkowski with nearly 52 percent of the vote to her 48 percent with about half of the election precincts reporting around 10:30 p.m.

The winner will face Democrat Scott McAdams in the November general election. McAdams, the mayor of Sitka, had a big lead in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday night against Frank Vondersaar and Jacob Seth Kern.

I can't find any other news on this and it's getting late.

Miller had over 51% of the vote last I heard. The absentee ballots are still out. This is shaping up to look like a win for Miller (and Sarah Palin by proxy). Murkowski's no prize.

There's already been rumors of "found" ballots, and there's a tad over 10 times more absentee ballots to be counted than votes between the two.
