Trump says he ordered DoJ to file lawsuit to block Alaska Senate results certification

Donald Trump has directed the Justice Department to file a lawsuit attempting to block the certification of Alaska Senate results. The administration claims voter confusion may occur because two Republican candidates named Dan Sullivan appear on the ballot. Voting rights experts and legal scholars consider the lawsuit a weak, unprecedented intervention in the electoral process. The move reflects concerns over the competitive race between Republican incumbent Dan S. Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola, with the administration aiming to pause certification pending an investigation into voter intent.
