Trump calls Murkowski a ‘disgrace’ to Alaska, criticizes ranked choice voting
Trump called ranked-choice voting a Democratic scam and said the Justice Department lawsuit could help keep Alaska’s Senate seat in Republican hands.
- President Donald Trump attacked Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski late Saturday, calling her a "disgrace" after she publicly criticized a federal lawsuit blocking Alaska's Senate election certification.
- The DOJ lawsuit, which Trump personally directed, seeks to halt certification if incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan loses to Democratic candidate Mary Peltola. Officials contend that Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., a similarly named candidate, could siphon critical votes from the Trump-backed incumbent.
- Rejecting the administration's intervention, Murkowski stated the Justice Department "should never have filed this lawsuit" on Friday. Trump countered by calling Alaska's ranked-choice voting system a "TOTAL DEMOCRAT SCAM."
- Polling shows Peltola leading Sullivan 51 percent to 49 percent in a simulated final round of ranked-choice voting. Trump warned Alaskans that a Democratic victory would halt his previous achievements for the state.
- Alaska voters will decide the election system's future through Ballot Measure 2, which proposes repealing ranked-choice voting. Both state and Alaska Supreme Court rulings have previously dismissed efforts to remove Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. from the ballot.
