Joe took his case to the state supreme court & federal court, losing both times. In both cases no violation of AK law was found. So talk to the judges.
He's an arrogant prick that worried rational Alaskans. I was struck by the trophy wall of animals he has killed and has mounted in his home. Just as macho as Palin. Went to Desert Storm, graduate of West Point, champion of the Queen of Alaska herself, the other half of batsh*t crazy.
It's so reassuring to see common sense prevail and the unlikely happen.
No they were not. In no other Alaskan election has the Director of the Division of Elections come out with new vote counting guidelines after the election, and no other Alaskan election had one candidate's ballots been counting manually while others were counted by machine.
What I find curious is why you support someone who deliberately violated Alaska's election laws. Could it be that you are afraid of an honest election?
The election law was not changed. The law itself was quite vague. And again Murkowski was still ahead by over 2,000 votes even without the questioned ballots, which include ones that were spelled correctly.
Write in ballots have ALWAYS been counted by hand. That is how they get figures for write in votes.
I do not support Murkoski, I thought I made that clear earlier in the thread.... However, she did win a fair election.
You are a liberal to the tenth power. You often make hay of nothing at all. Glad to see that MSNBC has one viewer ..... enough socialist interest to keep them going.
Have you seen the libs on MSNBC lately?
They are screaming at the top of their lungs ... REVOLUTION. Gosh they tingle for revolution in America.
And the people who love America are the crazy ones.

Repeating the same lies after they have been already proven to be false is a sign of insanity. Obviously you have a serious problem with reality.
Actually, Smash is writing the truth. Perhaps you should study the state supreme court case & the federal case instead of name-calling others.
No, he is not. I posted the election law verbatim, and it is not in the least bit vague. I also cited the Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000) which requires the same standard for counting ballots to be applied to all candidates.
Now you and Smash can choose to ignore that the Director of the Division of Elections applied two completely different standards for counting Murkowski's and Miller's ballots, and you can continue to pretend that she did not revise the law after the election. but by doing so you are knowingly and deliberately lying.

The irony of all this is that Joe himself was caught tampering with a poll by sneaking on colleague's computers LOL.
You continue to ignore the state supreme court case & the federal court case in addition to name-calling so I refuse to continue this conversation with you.

More lies. But that is okay, I have come to expect that from you. Miller was disciplined for talking a political survey on-line, nothing more.

By definition you cannot count write in votes by machine.
As Smash repeatedly wrote, Murkowski won by over 2,000 votes even if every ballot with minor misspellings was taken out. The decisions of the state and federal courts explain in significantly more detail why Miller's challenges were without legal merit.
You also cite Bush v. Gore, but you decline to mention the part of the decision which states the reasoning in their ruling was "limited to the present circumstances, for the problem of equal protection in election processes generally presents many complexities."
