Not to pat myself on the back or anything, but Miller’s lawyers are arguing exactly what I argued on ADN a few days ago: that misspellings could in fact be protest votes, and cannot be counted...In addition, the law says no exceptions to the correct name. Voter intent? Not present in the statute - and this is in Federal court, not State.

Pat away. Sounds good to me. 8~)

Hah thanks :) My lawyer husband never seems to think much of my quasi legal arguments!

Looks like even with misspellings discarded Joe isn’t likely to overtake her, but I read on ADN that they are challenging about 10% of them - which would indeed make it very tight if the rest of the absentees and challenged ballots break for him.

I should just move on here, I know, but it’s awfully hard to concede defeat, even with the fat lady warming up!
