You misunderstand the law and its intent, nothing new there. You are frankening for miller, no other way to look at it honestly. Murkowski is the winner by the law's intent. Nothing to see here, folks, move along. Which is what the court will tell Miller fairly shortly. Equating Murkowski with liberals is demagoguery on your part, and you will on your pratt as usual. Your estimate, by the by, is about three times less than the real estimate.
No no, JokeyFakey. I understand it perfectly, and since it suits your agenda to feign misunderstanding, you preach (unconvincingly) about your false "understanding."
Also, I didn't equate Murkoki with liberals, you tool. And my "estimate" hasn't even been stated, you dimwit pantload.
Are you even capable of being honest or accurate? Based on your posts, the answer is "no." You choose to be dishonest and inaccurate.
But, thankfully, your bullshit doesn't go unrebutted.
Miller is challenging two things, you fucking asswipe. FIRST is the legitimacy of counting votes that are either illegible or use some incorrect spelling of what might be Murkowski's name. In either case, the attempted vote is not a vote at all under the ACTUAL LAW. The one that's written.
SECOND, if and when those votes get properly tossed (if they do), then Miller is challenging the remaining approximately 2,400 votes which favor Murkowski (which is the rough number being reported, you dishonest goober). Because those votes are necessarily HAND-COUNTED, the chance for some "accidental" error goes up; and since Miller's votes are machine counted (not being write-in votes), the chance of a machine miscount (systematic or otherwise) must also be considered.
None of this is particularly difficult. Thus, it appears that your "confusion" is more a product of your desire to mislead.
Tell us all again how you are a "Republican," JokeyFakey. You've never been convincing in ANY of your fantasy stories, but it's always amusing.
are you saying miller's observers are incompetent? considering that they challenged ballots marked "Murkowski, Lisa" and " Lisa Murkowski, Republican", you may be right.
stick a fork in joe; he's done. time to go back on the dole in between chasing ambulances.
"Teams of ballot counters went through more than 100,000 write-in ballots over the past week in Juneau to see what voters wrote. Observers from both campaigns watched."

Actually, no, del. I'm saying (as Miller has argued in his legal pleadings) that because of the way the election got conducted (last minute changes,etc.), some of his observers were either not in place or had inadequate prep time.
I'm not the judge in the case and I am not reviewing every legal argument made by Miller's team or by Murkoki's team. What I AM suggesting is that if (a) the illegible handwriting on write-in votes which got counted for Murkoki get tossed AND if (b) the ballots where the voters failed to spell the candidate's name properly AS REQUIRED on the very face of Alaska Election Law also get tossed, then the difference in the vote total gets reduced to about 2400 votes.
THEN, if (c) those votes are all counted MANUALLY with all observers in place, AND IF (d) the machine votes for the non write-in candidate (i.e., Miller) ALSO get HAND COUNTED with all observers in place AND IF the (e) fucking State of Alaska Election officials come clean on when the absentee ballots got sent out (on time or late), then the OUTCOME might yet be different.
A Federal Judge found enough merit in Miller's expression of concern(s) that he ordered a STAY in the certification process.
I'm suggesting that neither you nor I know more about this than the Federal Judge who has read the pleadings and reviewed the submissions of BOTH sides.
