Fairbanks results trending left, but Tammie Wilson appears to have won seat on Assembly

13

The mayor’s election is too close to call in the Fairbanks North Star Borough, but Democrat Grier Hopkins has a slight advantage over Republican John Coghill, with a 45-vote difference that could be made up by absentees, although the chance is somewhat slim.

There are 975 outstanding borough absentee ballots and 546 outstanding borough questioned ballots. That’s enough to also — theoretically — impact Assembly and School Board seats. All remaining and incoming qualified absentee and questioned ballots will be counted on Oct. 8, at 2 p.m.

Here are the results from Fairbanks, as of Tuesday night:

  1. Coghill would need to garner 52% of the outstanding ballots. Even then, he’d only win by about ten votes. For purposes of this calculation, I’m ignoring the third candidate, Shields.

    To deviate from the statistical sampling of the votes already cast would be unlikely. But possible. Less than 20 percent likelihood unless the votes remaining strongly skewed towards North Pole- conservative districts.

    • You Democrats can’t think without being told, can you? Fletcher’s Assembly seat now belongs to Tammie Wilson. And soon, Cronk will send Fletcher back to her little communist-run law office. Maybe even with a statute charge by the AG.

      • Wrong. It belongs to Savannah Fletcher, there aren’t even final results yet, keep your pants on, I’m sure Tammie will let you get a turn.

  2. The Tax Cap gets Capped but the Old Guard that wants to bust a Cap in the Tax Cap has just enough Caps to play with… Something don’t add up here ????

  3. One really has to wonder why someone like Robert Shields would run for mayor of the FNS Borough absolutely no chance of winning in a three way race against two very well known candidates. I think he must like the “spoiler.”

  4. Before the cheating machines were in place, really close races were a rarity. Now, somehow, it seems like most elections in this country end up with very close results, with leftists just barely edging out a victory. Just coincidence, I’m sure…….
