Sorry for the CNN article

The Trump administration has preemptively filed a lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska’s US Senate election if the Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan loses in the critical contest which could decide the balance of power in the Senate.

The lawsuit represents the latest attempt of the Trump Justice Department to insert itself in the administration of elections, running up against the minimal role the Constitution gives the Executive Branch. It alleges that a candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan could confuse voters and wants a court to potentially delay the certification of the election if Sen. Sullivan is defeated next month.

Yeah, you only like it when dems sue don't ya?

And boy do those dems like filing lawsuits every time we turn around.

quote:

The Justice Department has filed suit against Alaska election officials, seeking to block the results of November’s U.S. Senate election from being certified unless incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan wins.

In papers filed in federal court, attorneys for the DOJ argued the presence of Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. on the ballot could mislead supporters of the sitting senator, Daniel S. Sullivan.


Who's this other Dan Sullivan? Sounds like it is a ploy to confuse voters, but does DOJ have jurisdiction here?

Dems would have just have some Federal activist judges lined up to file a lawsuit like they normally do to hold things up.

Nice how you forget to distinguish that there is another name on the ballot that is exactly the same as the Republican candidate.

Also forget to mention that Alaska uses Ranked Choice Voting, which puts them against each other on the ballot.

And that the Alaska voting commission agrees.

Alter troll.

Only an esteemed public defender like yourself would be ok with this.
How you don’t see any issue with this is absolutely comical.

So you don't believe this other Dan Sullivan joined the race to confuse voters?

He finished in 3rd place with 2.5% of votes. You think he should be on the ticket?

Sounds like an attempt to confuse voters to me. That's exactly how you people operate. Cheat any way you can.
