Oct 27, 2010 /EIN Presswire/ - As the three-way race for Senate in Alaska comes down to the wire, documents have surfaced putting Republican Tea Party nominee Joe Miller in the middle of a 2008 election scandal during his time as a borough lawyer in Fairbanks North Star, the Anchorage Daily News reports.

Miller was caught accessing several borough computers illegally in connection with his failed campaign for the state Republican Party Chair. An Alaska state Superior Court judge ordered public release of the 2008 records documenting the disciplinary actions against Miller for lying about his role in the accusations.

According to documents, Miller was suspended for three days and put on probation for six months as a result of his actions and subsequent perjury.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who is leading a write-in ballot campaign following her primary loss to Miller, issued a statement discussing the seriousness of the allegations and misconduct of her Republican opponent.
