Many Alaskans are addicted to federal pork and Murkowski promises to slap it on thick if elected.
Unfortunately,entitlement junkies are dumber than a possum with a lobotomy.
Without the lists they couldn't SPELL Murkowski and they must write in the treacherous RINO’s name EXACTLY or the ballot is tossed.

My understanding of a previous ruling is that the write-in need not spell "Lisa Murkowski" exactly correct. They just have to make it clear enough for the election judge to identify it as a vote for Murkowski. They could put "Lisa M." or "Mezversky" or whatever they think is correct so long as the election judge believes he/she understands the voter's intent.

IMO, the whole debate is one whether to *remind* voters of Murkowski as they are stepping into the voting booth as opposed to forcing the voter to remember this on their own.

In Texas, I have seen lists of write-in candidates who qualified as such by turning in petitions with enough names to be write-ins yet not enough names to be included on the official ballot. This is normally the province of fringe candidates who tend to get only a minimal number of votes.

And I guess that many of these voters were highly amused at the criticism Sarah Palin got for having words written on her hand. How difficult is it to write down the correct spelling before going to the polls?

Handing out a list is electioneering, period.

It was already ruled that any spelling that clearly indicates her name would be allowed. The list is just a reminder to those who might want to write her in. I really think its mainly for minorities who might not be as well educated as others (i.e. the "entitlement" class).
