Something is wrong with the vote in Alaska.
First, the total vote was surprisingly low, less than in 2004, despite a 12.4% increase in their August primaries, which were before Gov. Palin was put on the ticket.
Either people stayed home rather than vote for "the most popular governor in America," or something happened to some of the ballots.
Now, add to that the fact that apparently Senator Ted Stevens has won his race for reelection, despite having been convicted of felonies connected to political corruption and despite the fact that a poll taken by respected Research 2000 showed his opponent (Begich) leading by 22% points just days before the election.
Another respected national pollster, Rasumssen, who also predicted a solid win for Begich, correctly predicted every other senate race in the country within the margin of error in its latest poll -- except this one in Alaska.
Supporting the question about fraud even further, Representative Don Young, who is under investigation by the FBI for corruption, was also predicted to lose by multiple pollsters. He also pulled off a surprise "win."
I don't care if the people of Alaska found out they didn't like their governor so much after all and decided to stay home. But it seems, if anything, that would have reduced the vote for other Republicans as well, not increased it for Stevens and Young.
Something's rotten in the state of Alaska.

Further suspicion about the vote in Alaska. Now we learn that there were some 30,000 ballots that had a vote for presdient but no vote in the senatorial race.
That's possible, perhaps even plausible, if that many people were just undecided. Perhaps they would have ordinarily support Stevens but weren't sure they still wanted to, but didn't want to vote for the Democrat.
It is a little suspicious, though, that the majority of them occured in the same precincts where Obama ran that strongest.
That makes it less likely they would be those hypothetical Stevens supporters with doubts.
