Alaska Vote Count 2010 Begins Miller vs Murkowski

Alaska Vote Count 2010 begins, and Joe Miller's camp has already filed suit against Murkowski to ensure that only the votes where Murkowski's name is spelled correctly are counted towards the final vote.  However, Murkowski wants the decision to count individual votes to be based on the voter's intent. 


Now, if someone just wrote down "Lisa" I could see them throwing out a vote...but Murkowski is a difficult name to spell.  


In many respects, it would be much easier had Murkowski ran as an independent who caucuses with the GOP. 


To some, Joe Miller filing suit appears to make him look like a sore loser.  Shouldn't he wait until the results of the hand count are available?


Some say that this whole ordeal will be rectified in a few days. However, there's indication that the election could drag out for months. 


What do you think about the Alaska Vote Count 2010 beginning? Do you side with Miller or Murkowski on this matter? 

[AK] Alaska Senate Race 2010 Results

Alaska Senate Race 2010 Results. The 2010 Alaska senate race results won't be available for days ... perhaps even weeks. Why is that? In a very historic move, the Alaska Senate race was won by "write-in." However, whether or not a write-in candidate actually will serve in office depends on whether or not all of the votes were cast for the same candidate.

Lisa Murkowski is the supposed winner, although if she ties with Joe Miller there will need to be a runoff.

Miller beat Murkowski during the primaries, although recent scandals could have harmed Joe Miller's ability to make it to Washington. His nomination for the GOP candidacy made headlines as he beat out an incumbent.

The Alaska Senate race results are going to be historic, when they become available.
