<p>This story is really funny. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lisa Murkowski lost the Republican primary for Alaska's U.S. Senate race. So she decided to stage a write-in campaign to challenge the GOP winner, Joe Miller, and the Democrat candidate, Scott McAdams.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since Murkowski wasn't officially on the ballot, her campaign had requested that a list of write-in candidates be provided to voters at the election sites. The campaigns of <a href="http://www.adn.com/2010/10/27/1521270/judge-blocks-distribution-of-write.html" target="_blank">Miller and McAdams both sued the state this week</a> to block it. A lower court sided with the two parties, but later the Alaska Supreme Court overturned that ruling, allowing the list to be present. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So now, according to the Anchorage Daily News, <a href="http://community.adn.com/adn/node/154002" target="_blank">over 100 people have registered</a> as write-in candidates to make Murkowski's name harder to find on that list. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>For some reason, I think this is hilarious. I suppose it just shows that if somebody tries to sneak around the law to get ahead, somebody else will sneak around it in another way. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But if nothing else, at least we found something that the Republican and Democrat parties agree on... <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""></p>
