Alaska Tea Partier Joe Miller will not seek to prevent Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski from being seated in the new Senate—though he still promised to not give up his challenge to the state’s count of write-in votes. Previously, a federal judge had issued a stay preventing the state from certifying Murkowski’s victory; Miller has said he does not oppose the lifting of the stay, which would prevent her from taking her seat on January 5. The judge has indicated he’ll lift the stay.
