While Lisa Murkowski has been running anxiously around the state, teaching people how to write her name, the Supreme Court has been helping her. They have made it possible for voters to view a list of legible write-ins, but with a few minor setbacks. Center Daily Times reports;
But the Supreme Court decision allows voters at early voting sites to see the lists if they say they need help and want to be shown a list of write-in candidates. The decision could aid Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s write-in U.S. Senate bid; her campaign had fought to keep the lists at polling places.
“This stay will ensure that Alaskans can continue to get the assistance they’re entitled to under law,” said campaign manager Kevin Sweeney in a statement.
The Supreme Court did say the lists must not disclose the party affiliation of the write-in candidates. And the ballots of those voters who ask for the list must be segregated from the ballots of other voters, pending any additional appeals.
Will this help the underdog favorite? This is yet to be seen. Although this new service may not be the most user friendly, hopefully voters and Murkowski supporters step up to the plate and do their part.
Not surprisingly, candidate for Alaskan Senate, Lisa Murkowski, has handed Palin's favorite, Joe Miller, more than he can handle. While the befudlingly beloved ex VP candidate has mad a choice not unlike many of her other choices, unwise and rash, for some reason people have been picking up steam behind her as they usually do, to the demise of the rest of us 'non-Tea Party elitists'. Joe Miller, seemingly unqualified with a muddied past, was recently winner of the Alaskan Primary. Thankfully, opposition Murkowski has decided to go around the state teaching people how to write her in. While she is not yet winning, her ratings are quickly rising. As is seen in this video provided by MSNBC , she appears better versed and practiced than Joe Miller.
