Lawsuit! Intent of the voter! Whatever else Gore’s lawyers said in 2000!

Will Alaska have a runoff election if nobody gets 50%+1?

Since Joe Miller, the Republican candidate, is on the ballot then the intent of anyone writing 'Joe Miller' in must have been to vote for a different Joe Miller.

No.

Doesn’t matter why anyone would write-in the name of a candidate on the ballot.
Fact is, Alaska decided voter intent was so important, they changed the rules weeks before the election, citing “voter intent” as the reason.
Every ballot with Miller’s name on it should be counted.
If not, I pray he takes it all the way to the Supremes....

But wouldn't the intent to write "Joe Miller" on the ballot be that you want to show that you mean a different Joe Miller from the one that is running for the Republican Party?

I'm seriously confused...
