U.S. District Court in Alaska Declines to Stop Write-in Counting Process at this Time

Posted on November 10, 2010 by admin

On November 10, U.S. District Court Judge Ralph Beistline declined to order the Alaska Division of Elections to stop counting write-ins for Lisa Murkowski in which the name is misspelled, at least for the time being. See this story. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link. UPDATE: here is the judge’s 3-page order, from the ElectionLawBlog.

What an excellent example of Republican greed. First, daddy’s girl Lisa Murkowski can’t accept losing the primary, so files as a write-in. Then, Joe Miller can’t accept that he may have lost to a write-in, so files a voter disenfranchising lawsuit.

Republicans=Democrats=useless

In other states, if they come reasonably close they allow it. Go with that.

U.S.A. Senate = probably THE most ANTI-Democracy legislative body in the U.S.A. — due to the blowhard party hacks from the many below average small States.

435 Reps / 50 States = 8.7 average Reps.

Abolish the timebomb Senate (see the Civil War 1861 — due to the free/slave State machinations before 1861) — OR elect it in odd numbered years for at most 2 year terms using P.R. to represent ALL of the People/Voters in the U.S.A.
