No, he is not on the write-in list. His write-in votes count because the Alaska law clearly states that write-in votes for candidates who are on the ballot are counted.

The idea is that you can only vote for people who are properly registered candidates. People on the ballot are obviously properly registered, as are people who applied to be write-in candidates.

The lt Governor was wrong to claim they wouldn’t count, but it showed his bias against following the law. He has corrected himself, now the courts need to correct him on his “intent of the voter” nonsense.

If a voter misspelled her name, the simplest explanation is that the voter INTENDED to write the name the way they wrote it, knowing that it would not be a vote.

To assume that the voter MEANT to write her name is to call the voters stupid, and to count those votes is a violation of Alaska law.

So by default since he’s on the ballot he’s also on the write-in list? Cause he’s on it http://www.elections.alaska.gov/ci_pg_cl_2010_genr.php

But yes even if he wasn’t on it you are correct by (a)(9)
