Miller seeks to stop election certification
Source: Associated Press

The Republican candidate in the Alaska U.S. Senate race has asked a federal judge for a preliminary injunction stopping officials from certifying the election.

An attorney for Joe Miller sought the injunction Thursday as part of a previous lawsuit challenging write-in ballots for Lisa Murkowski, the incumbent senator.

Murkowski on Wednesday declared victory in the race, the first Senate candidate in more than 50 years to win a write-in campaign.

Miller's lawsuit claims Alaska law requires voters to write in a candidate's name as it appears on a declaration of candidacy, or the last name of the candidate, to cast valid ballots.
