As I understand it, she can appoint herself during the time between the expulsion and the special election, which she will win of course.
There is so many absentee ballots to be counted.

Not for two years. It is up to the Governor to appoint a replacement. Not sure if she could appoint herself, but makes for an interesting discussion.
Is Sarah Palin Nipping at Ted Stevens' Heels? - The SleuthAnd although Palin would likely face a legal challenge if she tried to appoint herself or a temporary replacement (a law passed by the Alaska Legislature after Lisa Murkowski's appointment to the Senate by her father, former Gov. Frank Murkowski, requires a special election to fill any Senate vacancies) she would certainly be the frontrunner in any race to replace Stevens.
