Story summary

On November 2, 2026, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Justice Department seeking to delay certification of Alaska’s U.S. Senate race due to potential voter confusion over two candidates named Dan Sullivan. The court ruled that the proposed remedy was infeasible and would violate voter privacy. Trump had previously directed this legal action against the certification, believing it could undermine Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan's chances in a tight race. Alaska’s state government argued the lawsuit lacked merit and demanded its dismissal. Despite the judge's decision, the Justice Department has vowed to appeal the ruling. The case reflects ongoing tensions over election integrity ahead of the November 3 midterm elections that will determine control of Congress.
