Alaska’s write-in ballot count to begin Wednesday despite challenge

(CNN) - Alaska election officials will begin counting write-in ballots Wednesday despite a federal court challenge by the campaign of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller, state director Gail Fenumiai said.

The complaint filed in federal court Tuesday afternoon asks Fenumiai’s office to “adhere” to state law in the counting of write-in ballots, limiting what the suit called “subjective” voter intent rules that were issued this week.

Miller’s campaign has blasted the Division of Elections’ standards as “extraordinarily ambiguous.”

The suit requests a court hearing Wednesday over the rules and asks for an injunction.

Ambiguous?
Murkowski.
Miller.
Gee, hard to misspell Miller into Murkowski.
Miller, you big baby.
