Alaska Republican Joe Miller filed a lawsuit in federal court yesterday over the planned count of write-in ballots in the Senate race. The suit asks that the judge stop the state from counting ballots that misspell write-in candidate Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s name.According to the complaint, Miller wants to prevent election officials from “counting or otherwise accepting as valid any write-in ballots in which the name of the candidate is spelt incorrectly, or on which the name of the candidate is not written as it appears on a write-in declaration of candidacy.”
