This woman infuriates me. Have all the votes been counted yet? These writes in are costing the state money and should never have been ok’d by that judge. What a friggen mess.
She really makes me sick. What is more concerning is that so many Alaskans chose to vote for her after the way she has acted.
Have all the votes been counted yet?
No and won’t be for a couple of weeks or more. Heck the absentee/mail-in type ballots have until like Nov. 15 to be received. The Lt. Gov. is now indicating they may begin counting the write-ins around Nov. 10, orginally he indicated it would be Nov. 18.
They have bumped up the schedule in the counting process.
One must consider that there was literally a last minute game changer when there were an additional some 125 extra write-in candidates on the ballot, plus the absentee military votes have not been counted, that is the CORE of Alaska votes.
And yes there was a Lisa M on the list, as was Joe Millers name, so many people may have wrote his name in instead of marking off the vote, and I think many Alaskans did that.
Yes I am in Wasilla, and everyone hates Lisa for her antics, and we countered her move. I think Joe will win, I predicted his primary win and I get the same vibes now.
Lisa and Pelosi will become a pair of has beens.
Is the Lt. Gov. a dem or rep? I don’t live there so I’m not really up on that.
Btw, if in 2016 Murky wins the R primary, I predict the Rat will take the seat. 50% of Republicans in AK will never vote for this woman. The Rats who crossed over this time to support the write-in will go D next time.
And yes there was a Lisa M on the list, as was Joe Millers name,
Did you see a list at the polls with Joe Miller on it? He was on the official candidate list published by the Elections Division but wasn’t noted as a write-in like the other write-ins were.
Haven’t they said write-ins for Joe Miller will not count?
I am so angry about this so called woman, she'll be COW to me for her entire life...she is not worthy of a full name...
I am too. I thought Alaska was a more conservative state.
I think the counter move was a great idea. I’m hoping and praying she’s not even close to winning, what a jerk. If she wins she’s the type that would rub peoples noses in it and probably have an eneimes list.
Yes I did see a posted list and Joe Millers name was on it. So was McAdams, the judges will HAVE to go with exact spelling on this, any aberration or whimsical deviation will disqualify the vote. Like Lisa the Queen Murkowski, it will get tossed I think, exact spelling rules here.
Personally I believe Joe has enough write-ins in his name alone to surpass what she has.
All he needs is something like 14,500 more votes than her.
Republican
I think those votes will be valid, his name was on the list.
[the judges will HAVE to go with exact spelling on this]
Correct me if I am wrong, but haven’t they already said that the voters intent will be determined when counting votes and that mispelling of Murkowski’s name will not matter if the intent is clear. However, if the voter clearly intended to vote for Joe Miller by putting his vote in the write-in line it will not count because write-ins for Joe Miller will not count! That is what Alaskan officials have said! Joe Miller will have to take this to court, but the court has ruled in Murkowkis favor before when they decided to ignore the law and allow lists of write-in candidates to be handed out.
I sure hope your right. Murkowski wins, she will be no friend to the tea party.

Thanks. I was going by this list from the State website of listed candidates. It notes write-in by those that filed the official letter of intent and doesn’t display write-in beside the candidates that won party primaries. I was just curious if you say won at a polling location.
Again thanks.
if the state passed out a write in sheet to voters with names on it that were not legitimate write ins, who could not be written in, like the SOS is saying,THAT is a deliberate atempt to throw the election and Joe should have his lawyers ready to go.....hint hint...hire the best lawyers even if they're Rats....they are the best at what they do..
folks...Joe is appealing for money so if you can , donate...
I'm not "tea party" officially but the tea party attitude and spirit is that the impossible is attainable if you work hard enough..
I think Millers attorneys will take this to court saying that the voters “intent” was to vote for Joe Miller by their “intent” of writing his name instead of other methods, a stronger argument for Miller to pursue I believe.
This is the can of worms Lisa brought with her, and all the reasons to create laws to prevent it from happening again.
