A ballot, for a Democrat, is found just lying around.
Where have we heard this one before.
JUNEAU, Alaska – Control of Alaska state government, at least for the next two years, could hinge on a mystery ballot that an election worker found on a table in a Fairbanks voting precinct more than three weeks ago.
The uncounted ballot could break a tie in an Alaska state House race.
A decision on whether to count it is expected Friday. The elections office has said the ballot appeared to be marked for Democrat Kathryn Dodge.
If Republican Bart LeBon wins, the GOP would control the House, Senate and the governor’s office. If Dodge wins, it would set off a mad dash between the parties to build a caucus of at least 21 members needed for a majority in the House.
