Claim: Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and the Tea Party Express are at it again. Murkowski, who is running for reelection as a write-in candidate after losing the GOP nomination to a tea party-backed candidate, has asked Alaska TV stations not to air a Tea Party Express ad that she calls "false, misleading and deceptive." We largely agree with that description. The ad falsely accuses Murkowski of trying to "influence the absentee vote count" after narrowly losing the primary.
