On the eve of the November 3 midterms, the Justice Department sued Alaska election officials to try to stop the state from certifying its Senate results if Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan loses under the state's ranked-choice voting system. The DOJ argues an independent candidate who shares a name with Sullivan could confuse voters, but election law experts have called the legal theory extremely weak. President Trump confirmed he personally pushed for the lawsuit, saying "I'm the one that said do it." It's part of a wider wave of Trump-era DOJ lawsuits this election season, including a separate fight in California over roughly 20,000 ballots the administration claims were cast by noncitizens. Democrats have countersued, accusing the administration of intimidating election officials nationwide. Control of the Senate could hinge on just this one Alaska race. #Midterm_Elections #Alaska_Senate
