ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- The GOP candidate in the Alaska U.S. Senate race asked a federal judge Thursday for a preliminary injunction stopping officials from certifying the election.
An attorney for Joe Miller sought the injunction as part of a previous lawsuit challenging write-in ballots for Lisa Murkowski, the incumbent senator.
Murkowski on Wednesday declared victory in the race, the first Senate candidate in more than 50 years to win a write-in campaign.
Miller's lawsuit claims Alaska law requires voters to write in a candidate's name as it appears on a declaration of candidacy, or the last name of the candidate, to cast valid ballots.

Don't give that bitch anything!
Many of us find ourselves grateful that Miller would cause even as little as a delay in seating whatsherface. Any extra snag, hurdle or pebble in the road caused to this RINO poser is appreciated. Hang in there, Joe.
I think that Mr. Miller should take his lumps, but research and chase the truth down (using up what is left of his election fund if necessary) after certification is done. Folks should also, if he does choose to pursue the path I proposed, donate time and whatever they can financially to help chase these liars and usurpers out of the peoples’ chamber!
Then have criminal charges (for vote fraud, misrepresentation, false pretences, whatever they can find) laid against the SOS, the vote tabulators, the ballot judges, and Murky herself once the ballots are shown to NOT be valid due to incorrect and incomplete spelling of the “write-in” candidate’s name, as is plainly written in Alaska law.
Once the fraudsters are in jail, another run-off election can take place. I’ll bet that the persons responsible for counting the ballots will be considerably more circumspect about what they accept as valid, and how they treat their duty.
It’s the only way that the elections process is going to get cleaned up: One district/ state at a time. Start with this one, since this method has got the best chance of actually going somewhere in this situation.
I still can’t figure out why she thinks she won. Could someone please tell me what the numbers are? I thought a lot of the votes hadn’t even been counted yet.
He also said at that time that neither his campaign nor his attorney had time to have experienced people familiar with this kind of thing (Bush/Gore 2000). He also said that there was no reason to push up the counting except that he and his team would not be even on hand for the process.
Obviously, that was just what the AK GOP election officials had in mind.
Sounds a lot like 2000 Florida and the various DNC operatives acting as "unaffiliated election observers."
While Miller did say that he would concede should he lose in those and the absentee ballots, having biased State officials changing dates for counting so that one candidate was unable to assemble his team on the ground, when there was no necessity to do so as well as changing the ground rules after the fact (again FL 2000) by claiming that the misspelled candidate write-ins qualify as "intent."
I continue to be surprised at how one-party states operate as fiefdoms run by the elites.
If you cant spell the name dont play the game.
Joe has to stop things & get recounts BEFORE certification. Once Cetification is done—there is no going back.
Ask Bob Dornan.
Just like FLA in the 2000 election, there are laws regarding when the election has to be certified by the SoS.
When Algore tried to get the SCOFLA to suspend the reporting law in that election, I remember this site being wholly up in arms about the attempted flouting of the law.
Now you are espousing the same actions once condemned by conservatives, because Joe Miller is involved?
The law must stand. Miller should take his lumps and work to prove vote fraud to get Murky and company thrown in jail. She can’t be a senator from a cell.
Use the rules, don’t break them. That’s democrat party policy.
BTW, I think the penalty for vote fraud should be hanging, since that crime disenfranchises thousands, if not millions.
