It isn’t complicated. If you provide a separate list of write in candidates you are providing an alternate ballot.
Can’t the scum ever play it straight, just once?
All kinds of shenanigans!!
Providing a list of write in candidates? This makes absolutely no sense.
Sounds like this list of write-in candidates is being provided even to voters who don’t request it. They are modifying the official ballot, or issuing an amended ballot for all practical purposes.
Why can’t they have the standard two-way race? what happens if all three get 33.3%? Will Senator Stuart Smalley come to the rescue?
Damned Murkowski. R or D, an elitist member of the ruling class feels entitled to the seat, regardless of election law.
If there is to be a write-in list, it should be a list of all 350,000 or so Alaskans over the age of 30.
It’s amazing how much money Sen. Murkowski has to wage write in campaign of this scale. She seems to have axcess to as much money as she has little honor.
That Murkowski has no honor surprises me not at all. She is a liberal after all...
This is beyond senseless, it’s pure evil. What a total sham. How on earth can one ever honestly say there is a list of “write-in” candidates? What, is there a “write-in” party? Did they participate in the primary election? Can’t I write in Fred the panhandler? Why isn’t he on the “write-in” list? Who decides which names to post on that list?
The AK Supreme Court got this 100% wrong, plain and simple. In the annals of Supreme Court rulings, this one is as bad as the SCOTUS’ ruling in the Kelo case.
I voted the other day and there were people handing out lists of recommended candidates for their party. Is this any different and how? I’m in NC and the only way I can see a difference is possibly state law differs.
Mr. niteowl77
I suggest that we bombard the internet - facebook, blogs, LTE’s, etc. - with comments and statements containing a variety of spellings for Mercowsci. Do it differently every time.
Over 200 years of elections in this country...
...and we’re still making it up as we go along.
The regulation reads, "Information regarding a write-in candidate may not be discussed, exhibited, or provided at the polling place, or within 200 feet of any entrance to the polling place."
To me, it's a clear cut ruling so I ask what changed in the regulation to make this court rule otherwise? Or need I even ask and just follow the money.
