Press Release Says, Sen. Murkowski Astounded with Miller’s False Claims

Anchorage, AK- Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) today called on Joe Miller to cease making accusations that an attorney from the National Republican Senatorial Committee and observers are attempting to skew the results of Alaska’s Primary Election. Miller has repeatedly accused Murkowski and the Republican Party of trying to steal the election.

“I believe in our nation’s democratic process, it’s the envy of the world. I have complete faith in our system and I am astounded that Mr. Miller continues to make blatantly false accusations that there is something nefarious happening. Observers from both sides are at regional election offices to ensure that Alaskans get a fair vote count. For someone who wants to be Alaska’s Republican nominee for Senate, Mr. Miller is certainly afraid of Republicans,” Senator Murkowski said.

Murkowski also commented on the confirmation today from the Alaskan Libertarian Party that there had been no contact or discussions between her campaign and the Libertarian Party.

“While I’m aware that Alaskans concerned about the future of our state are talking about a possible third-party candidacy, this talk is not coming from my campaign,” Murkowski said. “I am focused on the remaining ballots and the final vote count. I would encourage Mr. Miller to do the same.”
