Dear Fellow Conservative:
Joe Miller, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Alaska, needs our help. He's in the race of his life against Senator Lisa Murkowski who ran as a independent write-in candidate after losing the Republican primary.
With the race still too close to call, there are still tens of thousands of ballots that haven't been counted and there will be a recount to verify the integrity of the write-in ballots.
Joe Miller can win this race but he's up against a well-financed legal team that is working for Lisa Murkowski. They will be fighting to bend the law in Alaska, which requires write-in ballots to accurately state the candidate's name.
Joe Miller needs our immediate help.
The costs associated with maintaining the integrity of this election could be very high, especially if the legal battles go on for a while. Joe does not have the support of the special interests in Washington and he cannot rely on national Republicans to do everything that's needed to defend him.
Joe Miller needs the help of freedom-loving Americans who recognize the importance of winning this race. Joe Miller will stand up to the big spenders in both political parties and help stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that threaten our future.
Please make a contribution to the Joe Miller Recount Fund today.
This is a separate committee that has separate contribution limits. Individuals may contribute up to $2,400 to the Joe Miller Recount Fund even if they made contributions to his campaign before November 2nd.
Thank you for everything you have done to support the principles of freedom. Thank you in advance for supporting Joe Miller in this critical battle.
Sincerely,
Jim DeMint
United States Senator
Chairman, Senate Conservatives Fund
“Miller has contested 8,159 of those votes and claims that even some of the votes that were written in correctly for Murkowski may be fraudulent.”
Here is the implications of this:

**unsecured ballot boxes,
**other precincts where numerous ballots appear to be in the same handwriting,
**others where there is 100% voter turnout
**and still other precincts where the ballots were sent to the Division of Elections presorted by U.S. Senate candidate.”
**Voter intent not being applied to Miller votes, but only to murky write-in votes.
**complaints of voters that stacks of votes were already in the ballot boxes/containers only 10 minutes into the voting day, and with only a few voters having voted

Anchorage, Alaska. November 22, 2010 — Today, the Joe Miller campaign filed suit in state court as directed by federal U.S. District Court Judge Ralph Beistline. Judge Beistline ruled on Friday that the Miller campaign had raised “serious constitutional questions” regarding the manner in which the state handled the ballot counting, and ordered a stay of certification of the election because those questions implicated “serious state law issues.”
The lawsuit presents most of the same issues that were before Judge Beistline. Specifically, because state law forbids the counting of write-in votes that do not match the name of the candidate as set forth in the candidate’s declaration form, and because the state legislature declared that there will be “no exceptions” to this law, the Miller Campaign is challenging the Division of Elections arbitrary decision to ignore this statute. Under the federal Constitution, only the state legislature can establish the voting standards for a senatorial election, and the state judiciary and state executive branch are prohibited, under the Elections Clause, from tampering with the legislative mandates. Nevertheless, the state ignored the legislative statute and instead came up with its own regulations, regulations that have never been applied in 50 years of statewide elections.
Campaign spokesperson, Randy DeSoto said that, “The state of Alaska successfully argued to the Alaska Supreme Court that a voter list had to be provided at each precinct because if the write-in votes were not spelled correctly, the ballot would not be counted. Now, after the election, the state is taking a different position, claiming the law does not really say what the state told the Alaska Supreme Court it did. This duplicity does not speak well for the Division of Elections.”
Joe Miller said, “We have consistently stated that the rule of law has to be followed. The state of Alaska, through its elections division, must respect the law enacted by the legislature. It is not enough that the Lt. Governor personally does not like the law. It is the law until it is amended or repealed by the legislature, and the failure to follow state law shocks the conscience of every voter who thought their vote would be counted in accord with law.” Miller added, “State law is not a lunch menu where the Lt. Governor can pick and choose which laws he likes and will follow and which ones he doesn’t like. Deliberate indifference to the law cannot be condoned.”
Campaign Chief Counsel, Thomas Van Flein, further noted that “we have also raised substantive and procedural concerns arising out of the state’s creation of a new voting regulation that was never publicized, never vetted for public input, and completely lacked an enabling statute. Under the state Administrative Procedure Act, the regulation should be declared invalid, and that is what the Complaint is seeking.”
