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.

We have some confused or poor spellers. LOL!
you SHOULD be voting for Joe Miller-! although Mircalsky would also make a fine write-in-!
Great one! I never heard that one before.
I see in the news now that Alaska plans on considering intent of the voter. You do not have to spell her name correctly for the vote to be counted.
The list is sorted alphabetically which is unfair to those at the bottom. The names should be presented in a random order.
One, I’m not an Alaskan.
Two, if I were I’d be casting my ballot for Miller.
Three, I’ve written articles in his support.
Four, I think he’s the best candidate of all the Republican senate nominees.
Five, I think Princess Lisa is a spoiled brat who needs to make like a leaf and blow.
Six, I think this write-in backlash is hilarious.
Seven, I mispelled her name, tongue in cheek.
Eight, I wish people understood satire better.
Nine, We are conservatives, we should be able to take a poke at one another.
Ten, At least some Freepers understood.
