It will be fun to watch Murks make the argument that a write-in vote for “Leesa Murcowleselli” was clearly meant for her, but a write-in vote for “Joe Miller” was not intended for Republican candidate Joe Miller. Of course, courts make ridiculous rulings all the time so it won’t surprise me.
The question is did Joe Miller file a write-in intent letter with the State? If not it matters not what the intent of the voter was as the state has a specific law regarding write-in candidates. See #25 above for the link to the Statute.
I can’t believe that many voters were capable of writing in someone’s name. It was just 10 years ago that they were unable to put a hole in the ballot (hanging chad) but now they can spell and write names.
