== 2010 Election ==
Joe Miller defeated incumbent RINO Lisa Murkowski for the Republican nomination. In a selfish move detrimental to her own party, Murkowski decided to run as a write-in candidate. In the closely contested race, Miller and Murkowski handily defeated the Democrat candidate, but the race is still undecided. Contrary to Alaska state law, the board of elections is counting many misspelled write-in ballots in Murkowski's favor, which Joe Miller is challenging.
