Yes I remember this. And typically with write-ins you have to spell the candidate’s name correctly but I believe a judge made an exemption in her case because her name was difficult to spell. Thus misspellings were allowed which helped her win.

Someone writes in, "Santa Claus"... and a vote goes to Murkowski.

There's a lot of letters in that name. Judge had to give leniency. /s

I'm sure that was counted as well. But I think the argument was as long as you could see that the voter was trying to spell her name it had to be accepted

If they are too stupid or too lazy to learn how to spell ONE NAME, then their ballot should be discarded.
