Here's some guidance from on the ground in the unpredictable three-way Alaska Senate race.
Incumbent and write-in candidate Lisa Murkowski's campaign will only make remarks when they "know something," per an aide.
Their best guess on timing? Between 2 a.m. ET and 3 a.m. ET.
Murkowski has prepared three speeches, depending on the outcome.
One was described as a "clear outcome" speech that Murkowski will give if the "write-in" option definitely receives enough votes to trigger a count of the ballots.
She has also prepared a speech for an "unclear outcome" — if the vote tally is below that threshhold.
The third option is a "concession speech," which a Republican aide said was very unlikely tonight.

Shame disrespectful selfish
All the examples I know of where government and the peoples servants ignore the legal vote results have ended badly.
What are you talking about?
There are no results yet. She is not "ignoring" any kind of voting result.
And there are no examples in United States history where a government official has explicitly ignored legal voting results. If you are talking about other countries, save it for history class.
One more thing: a write-in campaign IS legal. If you think she's running illegally, you're as clueless about voting in America as her tea party opponent is.
The only example of someone stealing the election from the legal winner was in 2000, when the loser used family connections to steal the election. And look where that took us! In eight years, we went from President Clintons 400,000 surplus to a 13 trillion dollar deficit, and our great grandchildren will still be paying for us to invade a sovereign country.
I hope the Democrat squeaks in. Wouldn't that cause an uproar?
@Benjamin - save your revisionist history for University. Bush won, the Inventor of the internet lost.
I hope the "Toddler's" temper tantrum gives so few write-in votes, that she is forced to move to the Socialist republic of California to hide in shame.
