I think there is some thing fishy here. She lost big time in the primary but won with the write in. Some thing does not smell right.

Well, if only 2000 votes had the name spelled correctly, she still won. I don’t think every vote was misspelled. Let’s get on with thinking about running this country.

Wheather they were “dumb” or not, they have a right to vote. Some spell their name with”X.”

Although I am a Republican, it sounds like a case of “poor Looser.” We have another Florida hand count.

As I RECALL,THE Alaska state law requires that a write-in name shall be spelled corectley. since we are a nation of laws and not men,that should end any question about it.

Sounds like the 10,000 votes many of which were misspelled were either cast by dumb democrats or dead people (another favorite tactic of the dems.)

Several states are considering a law to prevent primary losers for being able to run as independents or as write-in candidates. That is a reasonable solution for future elections throughout the nation–so we need to support laws like that in all 50 states.
Lisa the RINO was just a sore loser who said she would side with the Republicans, so she got support from the non-Conservative Alaskans.
Until people really get to understand what conservatism is and stop fearing it, as as many do, we conservatives will only be a powerful force in the states where “Love of America” is alive and well.

Murkowski bought the election largely with the strength of contributions provided by weathy 8a native corporations in fear of losing their free money and by striking fear into the native voters who came out strong to see that the stitus quo federal money spigot was maintained.

Not true, gracentruth. The Lt Gov was appointed by Sean Parnell after Sarah Palin resigned and her Lt Gov, Parnell, stepped up to be governor. The Alaska constitution does not have the word “spelling” in it all, nor does it say a thing about the words being mandatory. It does say the name must be written is as it appears in the candidate filing and the oval filled in. It does not say that it has to be last name first nor first name last. It does not say it has to be spelled correctly. Look up the word “appears” in the dictionary–it is defined as “seems to be”, in the most relevant definition. Furthermore, in Alaska case law has further defined the rule to allow for reasonable determination of the intent of the voter. The so-called discrepancies listed by Miller have been debunked, as he has been unable to produce proof. Some of the challenges his observers made were justified, without a doubt, but the vast majority–nearly 80%–were easily observed to be spelled correctly, but with minor handwriting issues or personal choices such as a cursive first letter and printed letters for the rest of the name. Miller was the only Republican listed on the ballot, but anyone can join the party, and of the 160 people listed as write-in candidates, a substantial number were also listed as Republicans along with LIsa. According to you, contributors can “buy” the election for Miller by contributing–if that’s your definition of victory for the all of us, we in Alaska don’t want it.

The Alaska supreme court ruled prior to the election that all write in candidates names be written down so that voters could see how to spell all the names. A first in the state. So, no excuses -
The Alaska state constitution is clear – name spelling, oval filled in, name in the proper apace – and the words mandatory and no exceptions. The lieutenant governor, who is in charge of the election, was appointed by Murk’s father, Frank. There are so many other “discrepancies” that you should check Miller’s website (joemiller.us) to follow the action.
Joe Miller was and is the only Republican in the senate race.

Murk said that Alaskan voters don’t care about the issues and her whole campaign was a personal attack on Miller.

Miller wins if his campaign gets enough funding to continue the court battle. If you believe in justice and truth, help by contributing what you can, support Miller in the media and online.
Victory for Miller, Alaskans, and all Americans.

Keep your fingers crossed for Joe Miller, this is nothing more than vote manipulation out in the open. These basterds, steal our votes, screw us in courts and laugh about when they get paid by our tax money. I don’t know about you but I want a bit of retribution for all this crooked hijacking we suffer.

Lisa lost the primary mostly because a very large percentage of her supporters assumed she would win and didn’t bother to vote, and partially because we have a closed primary in which only those registered as Republicans or Independents can vote the Republican ballot. However, losing the Republican primary only means she, or anyone, can’t run as the candidate sponsored by that party in the general election. Chosing to run as a write-in candidate is normally laughed at as impossible–the fact that she has over 10,000 more votes than MIller has now made this a target for slings and arrows by a whole lot of people who know absolutely nothing about Alaska. More important, regardless of party, integrity is a critical element of any person running for office. I realize that will create scornful responses, as there are certainly many in politics who violate that principle. However, we can only compare those running against one another. In this case, Miller showed a history of consistently violating basic integrity in favor of benefit to himself and then lying about it until it is shown to be incontrovertible, and then he tries to laugh about it and pass it off as irrelevant. Lisa had one incident that anyone could find, and believe me lots of people were searching, and she owned up and made it right immediately.
Miller’s stated positions resonated well in some areas, and certainly in my mind. But with a well-documented history of failed integrity, how can we or anyone trust that he will change his stripes and become an upstanding representative of the people of Alaska? Not going to happen, folks, never does. Joe Miller is far from a totally honest man–in fact, we have letters signed by him admitting to lying over and over. Check Lisa’s voting record–and I mean, check with the Congressional record, not some blog. She voted with the Republicans the vast majority of the time.
If we want real conservatives with integrity in our political leadership, we conservatives should be the first to challenge the fakes, the first to drop support of those who have failed the test, not provide unquestioning support like the voters of Harlem for Congressman Rangel. Look at the facts!

Why do they keep insisting she’s a republican when the rep. was Joe Miller? She’s an independent!!!!! or a nut job

to bad she is a sore loser. she lost the election and instead of conceding gracefully she stomped her feet and ran anyway as a write in.

Many of the ballots from rural areas of Alaska were voted for Murk with the same identical handwriting. She knew she couldn’t win the election since she lost the primary so badly. Cheating was her only recourse. After all, she just wanted to ‘serve’. She’s a crook, liar and a cheat! Of course she should be allowed to ‘win’. She wants it so badly. Too bad a real American, war hero and totally honest man, Joe Miller, has to go thru this after winning the election.
Alaska deserves better. Throw Murk into jail where those who tamper with elections belong! Bob

to bad the harvard boy that ran on the tea party ticket feels the her name has to be prefectly spelled,something in the law called (intent),looks like miller is just another self serving harvard spoiled child that thinks the world spins around what ever he wants,and the hell what the voter wants,he is no tea party man,just another wolf in sheeps colthing,and to think,i once touted how honest of a canidate he was,just shows how little we know about snakes all of them even lisa murcowski.

mer cow ski, is that close enough for her to get one more?
how many of those write in votes came out of a box in some trunk of a car?
oh, and RINO RINO RINO!

i find it real strange the cow lost the primary but wins the election

Ben England speaks for me!

Is there proof of cheating? I rather like seeing the Tea Party squirm because if Murkowski is still ahead then it is nothing but sour grapes. A little defeat can toughen the soul and make you stronger for the next battle. I’m sure Joe Miller is a fine fellow but he should accept defeat and move on at this late date. Try again another day.

Murkowski is a rino for sure Republican? positively not! anything we detest is hypocrisy! and washington is full of it so let’s get rid of it in Alaska.L D

This is typical of RHINOS and Dems, cheat, lie do whatever it takes to get in office. We should give all these asses a free cruise on a naval target barge.

People should be more concerned about illegal exclusion of candidates from the Ballots more than they are about the exact spelling of a name during a write-in. Massachusetts has had far more egregious cases where the Establishment politicians illegally kept the names of legally qualified candidates off the Ballot so that the voters didn’t even have a choice. And Massachusetts recounts overwhelmingly favor the Establishment candidates, beyond statistical likelihood. The right to be on the Ballot is even more important than the right to vote.

I would like to see Miller win because she is nothing but a RINO, but her name is well known in Alaska, which is probably why she has won in the past. Sadly many of the American public do not keep track of voting records, and most just vote with their party they have attached themselves to, or with the name they have heard most often.

Saddly she will come out on top, why?

Can you say the Court System is totaly BENT.
