"Republican Joe Miller has formally declared that he no longer opposes state officials certifying Alaska's U.S. Senate election.
In papers filed in federal court Monday, Miller says he doesn't object to state certification of the November election results, which show his rival, fellow Republican Lisa Murkowski, winning.
But Miller isn't entirely giving up. His attorneys asked U.S. District Judge Ralph Beistline to keep alive his options — including a possible recount or election contest — once 'all appeals have been exhausted.'"
So Miller will stay in court, but this concession on his part means it is effectively over.
