Sarah and JoeJoe

(Ed. note: Alaska has  since decided to ring the last call bell on Miller Time and has cer­ti­fied Lisa Murkowski as their Senator)

It’s hard to believe, but even after:

• The tal­lied votes show Lisa Murkowski ahead of Joe Miller by 10,328 votes,
• Throw­ing out all 8,159 con­tested Murkowski votes, she still leads by 2,169,
• The Alaska Supreme Court found against Miller’s claim that the con­tested votes should not count, and
• The Alaska Divi­sion of Elec­tions has announced that they will cer­tify Lisa Murkowski as the win­ner of November’s election…

Miller hasn’t given up. He intends to appeal in fed­eral court. The grounds of his claim have yet to be disclosed.

I know I men­tioned this before, but why is it that it seems to be only con­ser­v­a­tives who want to go against the will of the peo­ple in elections?
