Begich fails to understand either the legal issues or the reasons why the challenge has been made. Miller stated, "What is vital is that the people of Alaska can trust the election process. The Miller campaign has stated repeatedly, all we want is for all the votes to be counted in accordance with Alaska Statutes." Contrary to Begich's assertion, personal ambition has nothing to do with the legal issues, and such a statement reflects a serious misunderstanding if not a complete ignorance about the election process and the issues involved. I think Begich would better serve Alaska by working on a budget that does not bankrupt our country instead of fiddling away while Rome burns," said Miller.
Campaign spokesman Randy DeSoto added, "It should be of great concern that Mark Begich, who is so aligned with President Obama's failed Big Government policies, feels so anxious to make sure Lisa Murkowski stands by his side in the Senate."
Some of the transcript from Begich's statement is in this ADN report.
In other news, the Anchorage Daily News (ADN) tonight reported that Joe Miller has raised $241,000 since the election, presumably for expenses pertaining to his legal electoral challenges. The ADN also reported that Miller's former employer is threatening to pursue an Alaska Bar Association investigation if he does not respond to questions about missing emails. Miller's lawyer, Thomas Van Flein said that he complied with his prior employer's email policies and provided printed copies. A Miller spokesperson said the renewed inquiry was harassment.
