Maybe it is the influence of Sarah Palin on that state that they have a decent court system...
I`m not a lawyer, but I do not see how this is good for Joe! You may have used Sarcasm that went over my head.
Seems like a terrible ruling to me! I have no idea who appointed these judges, but it seems clear to allow it at this time, they have a pretty good idea how they will eventually rule. When Joe wins they probably throw it out?
Sounds like they are in the tank for the tramp Lisa.
In future there should be a sore loser law that you only get one kick at the can.
The original trial court ruling was good for Miller. It prohibited the election clerks from handing out a sheet with Murkowski's name (and other certified write-in candidates - I understand a certified candidate is one who has registered with the division of elections). The appeal stayed the trial court ruling but directed that list have only the names and no other identifying information (ie party affliation) and that ballots cast by voters who had received the write-in sheet be segregated from the others until the issue was settled.
Two further points. Here is who made the appeal:
It appears the main reason for the challenge is to give the Natives a list they can take into the polling place. Without it, they would more than likely be voting the name of the Dem as it is on the official ballot.
Now, having said that, what the heck is the Alaska Republican Party doing with its name on a lawsuit that if successful assists the primary loser in defeating the primary winner?
