I understand (I hope others can confirm), that if Joe Miller's name appears on the write in portion, it will NOT count, because he is listed as a candidate on the ballot.

Well, that sucks. I've now heard it both ways.

I believe that Mark Levin asked the Lt. Gov that very question last night, and he indicated that if Joe Miller's name was written in, that it would be counted as a vote for him.

What needs to happen here, is a firm application of existing electoral law - not arbitrary rulings and subjective analysis of voter "intent".
