Write-ins flood Alaska Senate race list
Alaska Politics Blog ^ | 10/29/10 | Staff

In a movement one pro-Sarah Palin website is calling “Operation Alaska Chaos,” at least 100 people filed paperwork Thursday to register as write-in candidates in the U.S. Senate election, according to the Division of Elections.

A stream of would-be senators filtered through the elections office in Midtown Anchorage late in the day, many saying the effort is meant to protest an order by the Alaska Supreme Court on Wednesday allowing a list of write-in candidates to be shown to voters who ask for assistance.

The idea of a mass registration is to create a long list of potential write-in choices and make it harder for voters to find Murkowski’s name.

“(Murkowski) should have ran harder before the primary. And she didn’t. And she lost,” said Veronica Keanaaina of Eagle River, who signed up as a candidate in protest.

Hers was one of 56 Senate write-in applications the Anchorage elections office received in person or by fax in just 45 minutes late Thursday afternoon, said election clerk Raymond McAndrews.

Conservatives4Palin.com rallied Alaskans to join the effort with the headline “Attention Alaska Readers: Assist Joe Miller Through 'Operation Alaska Chaos.’”

A list of candidates on the Division of Elections website included more than 40 write-in names late Thursday, but employees at the Anchorage office said other names were still being processed.

Expect the Alaska Supreme Liberal Court to issue an injunction on any applications after their ruling citing.....”No fairsee’s, No dibbs, No takebacks!”..

Find a person named Lisa Murkowsky and/or Lisa Murkovski, and Ilse Murkowski and Liza Murkowski, etc.

Maybe a John Kennedy, too.

I personally will be casting my vote for Lisa Mrukowski, and I suggest you all do the same.

This recalls a great scene in movie history - everybody tosses their name into the hat:

I am Spartacus!

True conservatives have known how to combat the BS for years but none of the republican leaders will ever fight it - even as the left gets away with one weaselly trick after another. I am so happy that the middle class conservative people are rising up and doing this kind of in your face stuff. It is like all the lefties can do in your face stuff and the middle is too dignified for it. I am tired of the weasels winning because we are dignified.

.....at least 100 people filed paperwork Thursday to register as write-in candidates

I hope the final total ends up being over 200 and that they are NOT in alphabetical order; just scrambled all over the page and the voting judge has to read the list to every voter who friggin' walks in the polling place.

Heck, Lisa misspelled her own name in one of her first ads. (She later fixed it, but below is a screen capture of the original ad:)

Love that we're finally hitting the dims back with the same tactics they use. Bout damned time.

This could backfire in a major way (although it'll probably have no real effect at all).

We've already been told that spelling Murkowski's name correct is not required in order for a write-in vote to count for her.

So what makes anyone think that when somebody writes in "John Smith" that it won't be COUNTED as a minor misspelling of "Lisa Murkowski". Vote counters will just count damn near ALL write-ins for Princess Lisa no matter what is scribbled on the ballot.

Do you actually live in Alaska or are you stirring the pot?
