Moses vs. Edgmon apparently tied yet again

Thursday, September 21 2006

Unalaska, AK – The House District 37 Democratic Primary apparently is tied yet again. A campaign staffer for Carl Moses says the Superior Court has overturned three of the initially rejected over-vote ballots, or ballots where more than one oval was partially marked. Two of them go to challenger Bryce Edgmon and one goes to Moses, bringing both candidates' vote totals to 766.

Moses Chief of Staff and campaign staffer Adam Berg, who was at the Superior Court hearing this afternoon, says the court also overturned the rejection of two special needs ballots, which are being flown to Juneau and will be opened Friday. Those ballots could make the difference for either candidate, or they could result in a further tie.

Berg says he's feeling good about Moses's chances. But he says he's beyond the point of making predictions on the race.

On Thursday evening, Edgmon hadn't heard the news yet, and Moses declined to comment.
