It is a write in vote. The voter has the freedom to vote for whomever they write in, whether that person is eligible or not. So, the person voted for Lisa Murkowsky. It is disenfranchising the voter to attribute the vote to anyone other than Lisa Murkowsky. If the voter erred in indicating who they were voting for, that is voter error, not disenfranchisement. That is the nature of the write in vote and no standard less than that should be allowed. It places the counter in the position of determining the how to count the vote. Are we going to use Stalin's standard of, "it doesn't matter who votes, it only matters who counts the votes"?
“If the voter erred in indicating who they were voting for, that is voter error, not disenfranchisement.”
Well stated. Simple. According to the law.
(If they want to change that, let them, for future state, as someone above suggested that someone could be off by one, or two letters, so long as it doesn’t present a dispute with someone else on the certified list.)
