Update, 5:18 p.m. 11/10/2010

We just received the full results of today's write in ballot count, and it
is looking positive for Lisa Murkowski's campaign.

The Division of Elections reports that it went through the write-in
ballots for nearly 20 percent of the precincts in Alaska today.

More than 89 percent of the write-ins were unchallenged for Murkowski.

There were another 8.5 percent of the ballots that were challenged by
Miller campaign observers but Division of Elections Director Gail Fenumiai
ruled they should be counted for Murkowski. Those challenges could end up
being decided in court.

Miller campaign observers successfully challenged only 1.44 percent of the
19,203 ballots that were counted throughout the day.

There ended up being 164 write-in votes for people other than Murkowski.

Two people wrote in Joe Miller.
