- The 2010 United States Senate election in Alaska took place on November 2, 2010, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Alaska, alongside 33 U.S. Senate elections in other states, elections in all states for the U.S. House of Representatives, as well as various state and local elections. The general election was preceded by primary elections which were held on August 24, 2010. Scott McAdams, the Mayor of Sitka, became the Democratic nominee; Joe Miller, an attorney and former federal magistrate, became the Republican nominee after defeating incumbent U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski. Miller was endorsed by the Tea Party movement and former Governor Sarah Palin. Murkowski announced that regardless of her defeat in the primary, she would run in the general election as a write-in candidate. Murkowski garnered more than 100,000 write-in votes in the general election, 8,000 of which were challenged by Miller for various errors including minor misspellings. Even if the challenged votes were all thrown out, Murkowski still had a lead of over 2,100 votes when the counting was done. The Associated Press and the Alaska GOP called the race in Murkowski's favor on November 17, and Murkowski proclaimed herself the winner on November 18. Miller did not concede the race and instead filed legal challenges which stopped the Alaska Division of Elections from certifying Murkowski as the winner. On December 10, the Alaska Superior Court in Juneau rejected Miller's State law claims, ruling that Alaska statutes and case law do not require perfect spelling on write-in ballots if voter intent is clear. The Superior Court judge also dismissed Miller's claims of vote fraud as based on speculation. Miller took his appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court, citing a provision in the Alaska election statute that says there shall be "no exceptions" to the rules for counting ballots, and arguing that therefore, all ballots with misspellings or other deviations should be thrown out. The court heard oral arguments on December 17. Miller also had a pending case in federal court raising U.S. constitutional claims that the Elections and the Due Process Clauses were violated by state election authorities; the federal court could consider the claims once Miller's State court options were exhausted. On December 30, 2010, Alaska state officials certified Lisa Murkowski as the winner of the election, making her only the second U.S. Senate candidate since the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment to win election via write-in and defeat candidates with ballot access, after Strom Thurmond in 1954. On December 31, Miller announced at a news conference in Anchorage that he was conceding. Murkowski thus became the first person in 40 years to win election to the Senate with under 40% of the vote.

- Las elecciones al Senado de los Estados Unidos de 2010 en Alaska se llevaron a cabo el 2 de noviembre de 2010 para escoger a un miembro del Senado de los Estados Unidos en representación del Estado de Alaska, junto con 33 elecciones al Senado en otros estados, elecciones en todos los estados para la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos, así como diversas elecciones estatales y locales. Las elecciones generales fueron precedidas por elecciones primarias que se llevaron a cabo el 24 de agosto de 2010. Scott McAdams, el alcalde de Sitka, se convirtió en el candidato demócrata; Joe Miller, abogado y ex magistrado federal, se convirtió en el candidato republicano después de derrotar a la senadora estadounidense en ejercicio, Lisa Murkowski. Miller fue respaldado por el movimiento Tea Party y la ex gobernadora Sarah Palin. Murkowski anunció que, independientemente de su derrota en las primarias, se presentaría a las elecciones generales como candidata por escrito. Murkowski obtuvo más de 100.000 votos por escrito en las elecciones generales, 8.000 de los cuales fueron impugnados por Miller por varios errores, incluidos errores ortográficos menores. Incluso si todos los votos impugnados hubieran sido descartados, Murkowski todavía habría tenido una ventaja de más de 2.100 votos al final del conteo. Associated Press y el Partido Republicano de Alaska declararon la carrera a favor de Murkowski el 17 de noviembre, y Murkowski se proclamó ganadora el 18 de noviembre. Miller no reconoció la derrota y en su lugar presentó desafíos legales que impidieron que la División de Elecciones de Alaska certificara a Murkowski como la ganadora. El 10 de diciembre, el Tribunal Superior de Alaska en Juneau rechazó los reclamos de Miller sobre la ley estatal, dictaminando que los estatutos y la jurisprudencia de Alaska no requieren una ortografía perfecta en las boletas electorales si la intención del votante es clara. El juez de la Corte Superior también desestimó las acusaciones de fraude electoral de Miller basándose en especulaciones. Miller llevó su apelación a la Corte Suprema de Alaska, citando una disposición en el estatuto electoral de Alaska que dice que no existen "excepciones" a las reglas para el conteo de boletas y argumentando que, por lo tanto, todas las boletas con errores ortográficos u otras desviaciones debían descartarse. El tribunal escuchó los argumentos orales el 17 de diciembre. Miller también tenía un caso pendiente en un tribunal federal que planteaba reclamos constitucionales norteamericanos de que las cláusulas sobre elecciones y sobre debido proceso fueron violadas por las autoridades electorales estatales; el tribunal federal podría considerar los reclamos una vez que se hayan agotado las opciones del tribunal estatal de Miller. El 30 de diciembre de 2010, los funcionarios del estado de Alaska certificaron a Lisa Murkowski como la ganadora de las elecciones, convirtiéndola en la segunda candidata al Senado de los Estados Unidos desde la aprobación de la Decimoséptima Enmienda en ganar las elecciones por escrito y derrotar a los candidatos con presencia en la cédula, después de Strom Thurmond en 1954. El 31 de diciembre, Miller anunció en una conferencia de prensa en Anchorage que reconocía la derrota. Murkowski se convirtió así en la primera persona en 40 años en ganar las elecciones al Senado con menos del 40% de los votos. (es)
