Alaskan Republican Senate primary—a petition for a fair & legal count of absentee ballots
I received the following as an e-mail over the weekend. I signed the petition, naturally.
From: http://www.teapartyexpress.org/
“We have learned that the NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) has sent a team of lawyers and political hacks—including the NRSC’s top lawyer—to Alaska to potentially manipulate the vote-counting process in the Alaska GOP Senate race. Their apparent goal: to help Liberal Sen. Lisa Murkowski steal the election from Conservative Republican, Joe Miller, who currently leads in the vote count.
Joe Miller’s campaign has discovered that operatives are even calling absentee voters and asking them how they voted, purportedly so that they can figure out which absentee ballots to throw out (Joe Miller voters) and which ones to keep (Lisa Murkowski voters).
We need to fight back against this attempt to manipulate the election process. We went through this with Al Franken in Minnesota when the Democrat Party pulled this stunt—we can’t stand for it in Alaska with the Republican Party establishment.
Please sign the petition (http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/countthevotesfairly/) below and then share it with your friends. We’re going to make a big spectacle of this if the NRSC tries to steal this election for Lisa Murkowski. We WILL hold them accountable. Sign the petition - HERE.

Note: You may be asked to make a donation to iPetitions after you sign the petition. You need not do so. This petition is completely FREE and you can choose to ignore the donation request—it is NOT a request for donations by the Tea Party Express, and your signature will count without you making a donation to iPetitions.” (I was and did not donate without a problem; so expect it!—my addition)

“The Petition
We, the undersigned, are very concerned about news reports that the NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) has sent a team of lawyers and political hacks to manipulate the vote count of absentee ballots, and skew the results to benefit liberal Sen. Lisa Murkowski against the current vote leader, Conservative Republican Joe Miller.
We demand the votes in the Alaska Senate race be counted fairly. If the NRSC engages in any inappropriate conduct in this vote count akin to Al Franken's manipulation of the Minnesota Senate race, then we will hold the NRSC accountable when the November elections come around and they come looking to us to vote for their establishment candidates.

“We’ve told you about efforts by backers of Liberal Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski to dispatch teams of lawyers and political hacks to influence the counting of ballots in the extremely close Alaska Senate GOP Primary, where Conservative Republican Joe Miller holds on to a narrow lead of almost 2%.
Details are now emerging of repeated violations by Sen. Murkowski’s ballot observers, and are detailed in this letter from a prestigious Alaska law firm. Please read the letter—you might have to reload the page if the document does not appear the first time you try to access it: CLICK HERE to READ THE DETAILED LETTER. (I could not copy and paste the website address. I did download the letter and may post it at a later date—my addition.)
Friends, this is getting ridiculous. The NRSC, the Murkowski campaign and the Republican political establishment in Alaska are doing everything they can to steal Joe Miller’s apparent victory away from him. We must fight back.
