Write-in ballot count begins in Alaska Senate race
Posted: Nov 10, 2010 10:27 AM by Associated Press (BT)
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Teams of trained ballot counters began poring over more than 92,000 write-in ballots as the fate of Alaska's Senate race hung in the balance.
Observers from the campaigns of Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Joe Miller looked on Wednesday as the election workers sorted ballots into five boxes in an old building on the outskirts of Juneau.
Murkowski attorney Ben Ginsberg, part of the Bush-Cheney legal team during the 2000 Florida recount, also was overseeing the process.
The count began as Miller sought a federal order preventing counters from using discretion in determining voter intent on individual ballots.
