Aziz KarimovThe Trump administration is challenging the results of the Alaska Senate election, labeling the participation of a candidate with a name nearly identical to that of incumbent senator Dan Sullivan as fraud. Vice President JD Vance and President Trump claim this could confuse voters, while the Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent certification of the results if the incumbent senator loses.
Bekzod NazarovDonald Trump said he ordered the Justice Department to file a lawsuit demanding that the Alaska Senate election result not be certified if Republican Dan Sullivan loses to Democrat Mary Peltola. The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, argues that the namesake candidate Dan J. Sullivan Jr. was placed on the ballot to confuse voters. Democrats and Sullivan Jr. himself deny this.
