Trump says he ordered DOJ suit over Alaska Senate race with two Dan Sullivans on the ballot
The Justice Department on Friday sued to block the results of Alaska's Senate race if they are affected by "voter confusion" from a second Dan Sullivan on the ranked-choice ballot alongside Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), who faces Democrat Mary Peltola, the Washington Examiner reported. The second Sullivan, former Forest Service employee Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., drew 2.5% in the primary, and President Trump told reporters he personally directed the lawsuit, the Examiner said.
