Miller Responds to Federal Court Ruling

Fairbanks, Alaska. December 28, 2010 — In response to today’s ruling by Alaska’s Federal District Court, Joe Miller issued the following statement:

“I am disappointed with the federal court’s ruling today. The U.S. Constitution’s Elections Clause presented the most significant constitutional issue. Specifically, should the courts be required to follow the legislature’s standard for the selection of U.S. Senators or create their own? My legal team believes that the clear language of the Election Clause as well as precedent support our claims. Thus, we are evaluating the ruling and determining what our next step should be.”
