Yes, that's the camp I'm falling into. I have no problems with conservatives fighting fiercely in court to protect the electoral process. But, I'm not sure if challenging spelling is a long-term winning strategy ESPECIALLY when you're down 10K votes. That's a lot.
That's why they are in court. If Miller wins in court Murkowski's lead drops to approximately 2,000 prior to a recount and an application of the court's ruling. If the court changes the law or ignores the law (same thing) then Murkowski wins ... if appleals to higher courts uphold the court. If the court rules in favor of the law, expect Murkowski to appeal as she knows she may very well lose in a recount with a fair application of the law.
Murkowski knows the risk, that's why she is not trusting the state to make her case strongly enough. But Murkowski's paid videos are the best evidence against her position.
Murcowski didn’t win; Miller lost
Miller is smug, lazy, and dishonest. He was so smug that he ignored all advice from fellow conservatives on how to present his message. (Like losing the ugliest beard in North America.) Miller has the personality of a dung beetle and the political skills of a trout.
Almost any true conservative could have won, but Miller has the special ability to make almost everyone who meets him want to run and wash.
He even managed to piss off a judge that he worked for-—a judge who might have been a good ally.
Miller deserved to lose; his smugness and ineptitude are an embarrassment to conservativism.
