Counting continues in Alaska

As the vote count continues in Alaska, at least a few people are asking about the low turnout. The answers aren't convincing:

According to the Division of Election's projections, the election will end up drawing the second most voters in an Alaska presidential election, next to 2004, but far from the blockbuster numbers you might expect in an election that saw Stevens found guilty in a federal court just days before the voting and Gov. Sarah Palin running for vice president.

Pundits at home and across the country said the turnout numbers smelled fishy. Fenumiai said Monday that there's no evidence of fraud or irregularities.

"I can't speculate as to why people just didn't show up to vote," she said.

Also, the Washington Post is reporting that Mark Begich has taken a three-vote lead over Ted Stevens.
