Sorry, don't have any information on the last time Alaska had to look at write-in's ... however, I think I found the last time they looked at voter intent and it was a very different case.
In fact, the rules for the non write-in ballots required the DOE to take into account voter intent where as write-in ballots appear to exclude voter intent reference spelling. Information on the other case may be found here. Hope this helps.
My eyes sorta glaze over when over it comes to financial or legal stuff, but this quote of yours did it for me.. I understand...
“No trick involved. Statutes in that case directed looking at voter intent. That is the smoking gun here, because you are correct, “Our case with Miller is totally different.”
The Alaska Supreme Court applied the statute as written in that case. If they do the same in Miller vs Murkowski, voter intent will not be considered.”
Cheers!”

that is basically what I was talking about - how did they do it last time before lisa - rules are for other people - Murkowski...
It would also be a real smoking gun if there is another recount in recent history that makes your very point regarding Miller’s case... they applied the statute then.
I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP HOPE! I don’t know much about Miller, for me it’s the principle... Repubs have to start standing for something... thanks so much.
