DOJ preemptively sues to block Alaska Senate results if Republican narrowly loses

The Trump administration has preemptively filed a lawsuit to block the certification of the Alaska Senate race if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses the race, citing name confusion among the candidates.

Republicans have alleged that Alaska Senate candidate Dan J. Sullivan is trying to confuse voters over his name being similar to incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, in order to siphon votes away from the incumbent Republican.
