Joe Miller was not a candidate when Alaska passed the law saying that a write-in ballot must be EXACT.
Why did Alaska not say that “intent of the voter” was the controlling factor? Instead, they insisted that it be “EXACT.”
Why?

Why did Alaska not say that “intent of the voter” was the controlling factor? Instead, they insisted that it be “EXACT.” Because the Murkowski family that was in charge always expected to be on the party line of the ballot and did not want to be challenged by someone on the write-in line.

My guess is that it might have had something to with all those “hanging chads”. Poor chad, one hanging should have done the trick....
