Write-ins flood Alaska Senate race list
Alaska Politics Blog ^ | 10/29/10 | Staff

Posted on 10/29/2010 12:05:05 PM PDT by Mozilla

In a movement one pro-Sarah Palin website is calling “Operation Alaska Chaos,” at least 100 people filed paperwork Thursday to register as write-in candidates in the U.S. Senate election, according to the Division of Elections.

A stream of would-be senators filtered through the elections office in Midtown Anchorage late in the day, many saying the effort is meant to protest an order by the Alaska Supreme Court on Wednesday allowing a list of write-in candidates to be shown to voters who ask for assistance.

The idea of a mass registration is to create a long list of potential write-in choices and make it harder for voters to find Murkowski’s name.

“(Murkowski) should have ran harder before the primary. And she didn’t. And she lost,” said Veronica Keanaaina of Eagle River, who signed up as a candidate in protest.

Hers was one of 56 Senate write-in applications the Anchorage elections office received in person or by fax in just 45 minutes late Thursday afternoon, said election clerk Raymond McAndrews.

Conservatives4Palin.com rallied Alaskans to join the effort with the headline “Attention Alaska Readers: Assist Joe Miller Through 'Operation Alaska Chaos.’”

A list of candidates on the Division of Elections website included more than 40 write-in names late Thursday, but employees at the Anchorage office said other names were still being processed.

Maybe it should say something to RINOs when their alleged base treats them with as much contempt as Democrats usually do. You’d think they’d get the message but, apparently they don’t.

Actually, where I’m from I’m closer to the action than anyone in the lower 48.

If a person named Lisa Murkowski registers as a write in, then anyone’s write in will go to her, not the usurper one.

Went to Alaska Division of Elections website and read 148 names of write-in candidates. I didn't count the scores that were denied because they arrived too late.

This is a "screw you" message from the people of Alaska - to the court that ruled in Murkowski's favor. Hahahahaha

“”I personally will be casting my vote for Lisa Mrukowski, and I suggest you all do the same.””

I wonder how this judge voted on the Lisa Murkowski case:

Shall Dana A. Fabe be retained as judge of the supreme court for ten years?
(District Search) — (Alpha Search)

If she voted for the Murkowski ruling, then I asume freepers..and other conservatives might want to also take on another operation “judicial removal”.

Reminds me of the old leprechaun story:

Once a man from the county of Cork captured a leprechaun and forced him to reveal his treasure. Since a leprechaun can never refuse, he led the man to a tree beneath which the gold was buried. The man marked the tree with a red scarf, planning to return with a shovel, and made the leprechaun promise not to touch it. The leprechaun, true to his word, left the scarf, but when the man returned, he found a red scarf tied to every tree in the area.

So how many ways can you sell Murkowski? 1)Moorcowski, 2)Morecowski, 3)Moonbeam, 4)Kurmowski, 5)Murrkowlski, 6)Al Franken.

We can only hope that every Alaskan who’s name sounds like Lisa Murkowski runs for Senator!

I’m not sure they wouldn’t give the votes to the murcowski if someone writes in a name similar to hers. No, its better if they just vote for Joe.
