I just noticed on the Alaska Elections Office webpage that there are only 632 total write-ins for Governor. That compares with 83,201 write-ins for US Senate.

That write-in gubernatorial total is evidence, it seems to me, that the overwhelming majority of US Senate write-ins are for Lisa Murkowski. There just aren't that many voters who want to do a miscellaneous write-in vote, generally, for important office, as seen by the gubernatorial write-in total.

Joe Miller has 69,762 votes.
