No. He is standing up to the corruption that is Lisa and people like her.
She was not chosen by the people to run. Mr. Miller was.
The state is basically functioning as proxy Murkowski staff.
Judges will ignore any case law favorable to Miller

Some republicans learned that lesson. Fight them where they think they are strong....in the courts. Not all judges are jackass's...
But it will all end up in the lap of the state legislature.

Why do you say that? Is that specified in the Alaska Election Code? Can you give us a source? I’d like to read it.
Thanks.
It’s so refreshing to see a Republican not roll over and play dead.
GO JOE!
nikos, don’t bother trying to reason with tlb. Most people here on FR ignore him. He’s a Moderate at best; Democrat at worst. He’d probably be more comfortable over at the DU. Just ignore him.
You make a terrific point. Any hint of impropriety and a Republican resigns. Not so with liberals. We have lost many good people because conservatives take the high road.
When your opponent has no integrity, one must fight to the death and at times, down in the trenches to ensure justice is served.
We supported Miller financially and am happy to see he is the tenacious fighter we thought him to be.
Being from a state that had voter fraud exposed, even though our outgoing governor Doyle denies it, makes this issue particularly sensitive to us.
EODGUY
A BIG YES, if you don't know the proper name of who your voting for, why should your vote be legal...
No one is being disenfranchised, the law isn't in the job of mind reading like they did in Florida..
The farce was in mind reading chads....how stupid is that...might just as well have the psychic Cloe doing the counting..
If the vote is not plain and clear, toss it....if someone is too illiterate to follow directions when voting, they shouldn't be counted....
Wow! So many errors in tlb’s post to you guys I don’t know where to begin.
He posted today, Wed. and said the Absentee Ballots are scheduled to be counted next week. They were counted yesterday.
The Write-in Ballots are scheduled to be counted today (Nov. 10) unless the Courts halt the vote count until some clarification is made (Ref. Miller’s Lawsuit).
Absentee Ballots are not “primarily” from the Military; they are Statewide. The Overseas Military Ballots will not be counted until the date for them to be in; November 17th.
Hope this clarifies this for you guys.
do we want him to win that way?....

HECK YEAH!!! If someone is breaking in and raping and killing your family are you gonna stand there and say do we really want to shoot him? Maybe we could just talk to him.
Do what you gotta do when the stakes are high AND YOU ARE WITHIN YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS!!!
The Supreme Court does not have the courage, hope I AM WRONG
Would you prefer that the woman die?
Then I remembered that Murkowski is more Dem than Rep and so the failing, but still fairly strong, voices of the enemedia will be raised in a solid cacophony against Miller and all who help him...
HA Ha you reminded me of this - the dufus state of minnesota
and no Demon rat would confess to making this mistake!!

Voting irregularities were few in Minnesota this year — until it really counted.
Defeated Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry likely is going to get one less electoral vote nationally than he should have — 251 instead of 252 — because of an apparent mistake Monday by one of Minnesota’s 10 DFL electors.
One of the 10 handwritten ballots cast for president carried the name of vice presidential candidate John Edwards (actually spelled “Ewards” on the ballot) rather than Kerry.
“I was shocked ... this will go in the history books,” said Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer, who presided over a ceremony that normally is uneventful.
I’m glad he isn’t just sitting back and letting the Kow and her “friends” in the Alaskan state government steal the election.
The poisonous fruit of the entire business was the general acceptance of (or the failure to refute) the proposition that the letter of the law should be secondary to “the voter’s intent,” which should be paramount.
But the voter’s intent, when it needs examination at all, comes with someone else’s participation. Someone has to interpret it. And then someone has to rule on it, too.
Sure, ideally, the voter’s intent should be paramount. But there is no ideal method of determining it. We can’t read minds, or we wouldn’t need to go to the polls at all. Once again, liberals want to apply their inhuman ideals to imperfect human business, and once again the result is necessarily going to be chaos and corruption.
Unless we follow the letter of the law here, we are in the weeds. Which is just where the left wants us.
Wouldn’t it have been great if that radio commentator in Alaska had gotten Fred Murkowski and Lisa J. Murkowski and Lisa Murgowski and Kenneth Murkovski and others to get on the write in ballot?
You must have watched a different election than I did. I thought Gore was suing to get a recount not stop one. And he was wanting to divine voter intent just like Murkowski.
