Judge Denies Joe Miller's Bid to Exclude Misspelled Alaska Write-in Votes

Tea Partiers like Joe Miller's campaign showed their contempt for both our voters & elections. In the final weeks in Alaska they tried to flood the ballot with superfluous write-in candidates just to confuse voters who were trying to vote for Sen. Murkowski. And in Nevada the GOP/Tea Party ran manipulative ads encouraging Latinos not to vote so the Tea Party could send Sharron Angle to the Senate! That's real American - whether confusing voters or encouraging them not to exercise their right to vote. No wonder the whiz behind the "anti Latino vote" loves the Virginia weasel, Rep. Eric Cantor. They have an identical concept of integrity...none.

The Judge is very wise. In addition,it is clear that the pictogram really helped with the spelling of Ms. Murkowski's name.

It doesn't matter to me. I don't live in Alaska. But, the arrogance of Miler, (sic) is amazing. Thank goodness, the judge exercised common sense.

It's interesting this judge changed the existing laws to accommodate Murkowski at this late date. I wonder how well he knows members of the Murkowski Dynasty in Alaska. It's worth investigating.

Looks like ol' Lisa is pulling a Franken! I think Mr. Miller should require that the eligibility of the voters be verified along with whose name was written in. Ol' Lisa is a big supporter of illegal immigrants and you can bet that a bunch of the writ-ins are illegals or ineligible voters.

When I first heard about this I thought it was stupid to worry about spelling. Because if a peson misspelled Murkowski you would still know what they meant. But then I thought of names where the spelling could be close like jones johns and jons. Remember thee are more than just Dems and Reps on state ballots. Spelling could be important.
