The Trump administration, through the Department of Justice, has filed a preemptive lawsuit to block the certification of Alaska's Senate election results if the Republican incumbent, Dan Sullivan, loses. This unprecedented federal intervention cites voter confusion due to an independent candidate sharing a similar name (Dan J. Sullivan) with the incumbent (Dan S. Sullivan).
