That’s not the write-in list, that’s the complete list of valid candidates. It includes both ballot candidates AND write-in candidates.
OK, now it gets confusing then. The only place on the AK Elections site where I could find any distinction between write-in candidates and party candidates was at http://www.elections.alaska.gov/ci_pg_cl_2010_genr_alpha.php and sure enough, like you said, he’s not listed as a “write-in candidate”.
Maybe it does matter how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. lol
But I didn’t see any “write-in list” anywhere on that site, so I’m not sure what list the statute is referring to.
If they do make the distinction between write-in candidates and ballot candidates, as seems to be the case on the page I linked to, then the parts of the statute which refer to “write-in candidates” wouldn’t apply to Joe Miller. Just the ones that apply to ballot candidates would apply. #5 and #9.
So maybe my meanderings did make sense after all. Somebody check the temperature of hell. lol
