Alaska Supreme
Court chooses not to overturn election results.(Front)
JUNEAU, Alaska |
The Alaska Supreme Court delivered another stinging setback to Republican Joe
Miller, refusing to overturn election results that favored his GOP rival, Lisa
Murkowski, in the state's U.S. Senate race.
The high court on Wednesday upheld a lower court's ruling dismissing Miller's claims of impropriety in the state's handling of the election and ballots for Murkowski, who waged a long-shot write-in campaign after losing her primary to Miller. It found "no remaining issues raised by Miller that prevent this election from being certified."
It's now up to Miller to decide if he will continue to fight.
