Same-Name Alaska Lawsuit
The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit in Anchorage seeking to set aside ballots cast for independent candidate Dan J. Sullivan in Alaska’s contested Senate race, citing concerns that voters might confuse him with incumbent Republican Senator Dan S. Sullivan. The move comes amid allegations that the independent’s candidacy is intended to siphon votes from Democrat Mary Peltola. Her campaign has denied any involvement, and no official evidence supporting the allegations has been announced so far. The department confirmed that it had opened a criminal investigation, following an earlier directive from Donald Trump to sue Alaska in an effort to block certification of the results if the incumbent senator loses because of mistaken identity.
