Alaskan law clearly states the write-in candidate’s name MUST be spelled correctly,
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If I was Joe, and they count votes where “Murkowski” is not spelled correctly, with all the bracelets, and the list of names handed out at the polling place, and she wins...I’d go to the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Great One sliced and diced the Alaska Lt. Gov last night. Clearly the man has his own agenda and is not to be trusted.

Not correct.

Alaska law sides heavily with “voter intent,” meaning that a variety of misspellings are acceptable. Even “Lisa M” would have been acceptable before the Anchorage talk show host got dozens of people to flood the elections division with write-in names - including a “Lisa M. Lackey.” However, someone writing “Lisa Murko” or “Lisa Mercowsky” would still be counted as a vote for Murkowski.
