You thought the 2010 elections were over on Nov. 2, didn’t you? Well, most of them were — but not in Alaska. The vote count is still going on in the U.S. Senate race there.
The problem arose after Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski lost in the GOP primary election to “tea party” candidate Joe Miller.
But she decided to run again in the Nov. 2 general election — as a write-in candidate.
Lots of voters who favored Murkowski had trouble writing in and spelling her name correctly.
Some wrote “Murkowsi.” Some wrote “Murkowsky.” Some wrote “Muckowski.” And there were other variations.
