Judge Rejects DOJ Bid to Segregate Alaska Senate Ballots
A federal judge dismissed the Trump administration’s lawsuit seeking to block the certification of Alaska’s U.S. Senate race. The Justice Department had argued that ballots for a second candidate named Dan Sullivan should be segregated to prevent vote dilution for incumbent Dan S. Sullivan. The court ruled that the federal government lacked standing to intervene and that such measures would violate voter secrecy rights. This decision follows a rapid legal escalation involving allegations that the Democratic campaign recruited a look-alike candidate to confuse voters.
