Should Joe Miller be challenging mis-spelled votes for Murkowski?

Question

Shouldn't the primary goal in recounts be to determine the intent of the voter? If someone voted for "Lisa Murcowski" it should count as a vote for Lisa Murkowski. If the law conflicts with that, the law should be changed. If Joe Miller somehow ends up getting to the Senate based on this sort of crap, there should be an immediate recall campaign.

Not at all and if he does, his desire to do the will of the people needs to be considered as less than ethical. Is he so desperate to win  he would resort to pettiness.

You spoke back your question interior a similar sentence. he's objecting to all writing in ballots that comprise any misspelling of the call Murkowski. it is going to be a heat win for Murkowski & a bitter pill for supporters of Miller - ie Sarah Palin.
