The rules released last week by the alaska board of elections allowed subjectivity… but Miller’s crowd just want to throw out s many Murkowsski or Murkkowski votes as possible - hoping that will keep them in the running.

“The guidelines say poll workers must consider the voter’s intent when determining whether to count a ballot for a write-in candidate.

The Miller suit says, according to state election law, that a write-in vote can’t be accepted if the voter did not correctly write either the full name or last name of a candidate; the voter wrote a candidate’s name incorrectly, or misspelled it; or the name written on the ballot is not the name used on the candidate’s certificate of candidacy.”

Look, if the write-in votes were for a Millar or Moliere, I could accept that argument, this fellow is just clutching at straws to avoid an embarassing political defeat.
