JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) A judge has ruled against Republican Joe Miller's lawsuit challenging how Alaska counted write-in votes for rival Lisa Murkowski in their U.S. Senate race.
Judge William Carey's ruling Friday is virtually certain to be appealed to the state Supreme Court. The judge said his decision wouldn't take effect until Tuesday to give Miller time to appeal.

Recal Miller went to the Federal courts FIRST because he knew and so do all, that the State courts are polluted with “ Murkowski mafia “ judges.
Laws, federal, state, election, whatever just don’t matter any more. All are the whim of the party in power
It looks like the Ice Princess gets to keep the Senate seat Daddy Frank gave to her. Now she needs to go over to the other side of the aisle with her comrades. She’s not a Republican or even a RINO. She’s a Liberal Obamanoid hack.
Yep the law is pretty clear, and even states there are no exceptions.
Toss the law, the party rules.
Pipe down...It's the best justice, money can buy.
Miller needs to fight to the bitter end!
Yes sir...to the bitter end. Thank you Joe Miller for showing everyone how it should be done.
So what exactly is the issue that he is disagreeing with?
I hate to see these things drug out like this it always reminds of the sore loserman fiasco back in 2000.
And how do you think we feel here in Minnesota, where only a 100 car-trunkful vote margin is safe?
Was there a ruling on the question of entire boxes of absentee ballots written in the same hand writing?
Murki is one unhappy, mean, arrogant B__ch.
Besides taking this to the State court level- Millers lawyers should already be filing for another Stay on election results until the issue can make its way through all the courts.
A federal judge has held up certification of Murkowski’s victory until state ballot issues are resolved. The new Senate will be sworn in Jan. 5.
Well a State court just resolved it. Unless the next court issues a stay then the federal stay will be lifted. That is my take on it. I hope I am wrong.
Alaskan republicans STILL HAVE NOT figured out its the democrats that wrote in Moosecowski’s name.. Duuuuugh..
Christ.
Mispelled write-ins shouldn’t count for anybody.
