Alaska state lawmaker says election law up for debate after Miller/Murkowski troubles

Fairbanks Daily News-Miner:
"Alaska's Legislature should consider changing election law to make clear that voter intent is what matters in counting write-in ballots, a state lawmaker said Wednesday.

The change could help Alaska avoid a repeat of the recent legal wrangling between Republican nominee Joe Miller and U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who lost the GOP nod in August but won the November general election on the strength of write-in votes."
