Trump administration sues to block Alaska Senate result certification if GOP loses

Trump administration sues to block Alaska Senate result certification if GOP loses

The administration sued in advance to block certification if Republicans lose; Trump said he ordered the suit if Mary Peltola wins, while CNN framed the condition as incumbent Dan Sullivan losing. Peltola says she knew nothing about the similarly named candidate and denies trying to trick voters. The Alaska Supreme Court allowed the candidate to remain on the ballot, and the dispute remains unresolved.
