Alaska Senate Battle Heats Up
"Write-in" Leading Alaska Senate Race
Election officials plan to begin going through tens of thousands of write-in ballots on Wednesday; on Friday, they'll begin addressing thousands of questioned ballots.
Write-ins held the lead over GOP nominee Joe Miller. But it's not clear how many of those were for Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who ran as a write-in after losing the primary to Miller.
