Alaska asks federal court to dismiss DOJ suit over Senate certification
Alaska's Republican-led state government has joined Peltola and Senate Democrats in asking a federal judge to throw out the Justice Department's suit over certifying the state's Senate race.
Alaska's Republican-led state government has asked a federal court to dismiss the Justice Department's lawsuit over the state's Senate race, according to The Hill, which cites a Monday court filing. The suit seeks to bar Alaska from certifying its midterm results.
The department filed the suit last week. It says a second candidate on the ballot with the same name as Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan could confuse voters. It targets certification if Sullivan loses to Democrat Mary Peltola.
Attorneys for Peltola and Senate Democrats filed a motion Friday asking the judge to drop the case, NBC News reports. CNBC reports Peltola wants a quick dismissal. ABC News reports the judge showed skepticism toward the department's legal strategy.
Trump has taken credit for the suit. Asked about it, he told reporters, "I'm the one that said do it," according to PBS NewsHour and The Guardian. The New York Times reports he told the department to intervene.
Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the suit Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." PBS reports he said Trump is not trying to overturn state results "in any way, shape or form." The Guardian reports he called the host's question about a possible repeat of January 6 "crazy."
The New York Times reports polling shows Republicans at risk of losing the seat. CNBC reports the winner could decide which party controls the Senate. Politico reports the suit stunned officials in both parties. Al Jazeera reports the department has faced criticism that the suit aims to block a Democratic win. The election is Nov. 3.
