Alaska Election Officials Oppose Trump DOJ’s Involvement in Senate Race
- On Wednesday, Alaska Department officials said new reports about Democrats recruiting a candidate named Daniel Sullivan do not change the state's opposition to a Justice Department lawsuit seeking to delay election certification.
- President Donald Trump directed the Justice Department last week to file the suit, alleging a conspiracy after Democrats recruited the retired teacher Daniel to challenge GOP incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan.
- Alaska Department spokesperson Sam Curtis stated that ballot placement remains a matter of state law, noting the Alaska Supreme Court already authorized Daniel to be on the Ballot.
- President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that Mary Peltola 'should be removed from the Ballot and prosecuted,' also criticizing the 'FAKE Dan Sullivan,' while the incumbent's campaign accused Peltola of deceiving Alaskans.
- According to Derek Muller of the Notre Dame Law School, the lawsuit lacks federal authority to block certification, though the recruitment controversy may adversely affect Peltola with voters.
