Miller Sues to Stop Murkowski Election Certification

The Anchorage Daily News (ADN) tonight reported that Joe Miller has filed an injunction with a federal court seeking to stop the certification of incumbent Senator Murkowski's election. The injunction is part of a outstanding lawsuit which seeks to have Alaska's election laws upheld to the letter of the law, which says that write-in candidates' names must be spelled correctly and the oval filled in or the vote is not valid. Out of 10,400 write-in ballots, Miller has challenged 8,153; however, according to the ADN report, even if Miller won every challenge, Murkowski is still in the lead. She claimed victory last night in Anchorage.
