特朗普政府正提起诉讼，要求驳回阿拉斯加参议院选举的认证结果——条件是现任共和党籍参议员丹·沙利文未能赢得连任；若将另一位共和党籍阿拉斯加参议院候选人丹尼尔·J·沙利文的选票计给现任参议员，沙利文本会胜出。
政府方面指控，候选人丹尼尔·J·沙利文故意使用与现任参议员相同的选票姓名和政党归属，试图误导选民，可能导致选票分流，从而让民主党挑战者、前众议员玛丽·佩尔托拉获益。
参议员丹·沙利文、丹尼尔·J·沙利文、佩尔托拉以及另一位共和党人格拉尔德·海克斯均入选大选选票，此次选举将通过排序复选制决定结果。
美国司法部在周五提交的法院文件中主张，允许丹尼尔·J·沙利文留在选票上“可能误导想要投票给沙利文参议员的阿拉斯加公民”，并指出他的部分支持者“很可能会误投给丹尼尔·J·沙利文”。司法部表示，该参议员的其他支持者“可能会对如何对三名共和党候选人排序以击败佩尔托拉感到困惑”，并且“可能根本不会给沙利文参议员排序”。
尽管阿拉斯加法院允许丹尼尔·J·沙利文留在选票上，但美国司法部认为，认证受这种误导影响的选举结果将违反《全国选民登记法》。
司法部的诉状要求联邦法院在沙利文参议员落败时驳回认证结果，前提是将另一位沙利文的选票计给沙利文后他本会胜出，同时需对选民意图展开调查。
阿拉斯加在2020年投票更改选举制度，并于2022年首次推行排序复选制。该州放弃政党初选的举措旨在减少政治两极分化。该州过去曾出现过不同寻常的选举结果，最引人注目的是2010年，时任参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基在共和党初选中落败后，通过手写票竞选赢得连任。

Trump admin. sues to block Alaska Senate certification if Sen. Dan Sullivan loses

The Trump administration is suing to block certification of the Alaska Senate race if incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan does not win reelection — but would have won if votes for the other GOP Alaska Senate candidate, Daniel J. Sullivan, were counted for the incumbent.
The government alleges that candidate Daniel J. Sullivan deliberately sought to confuse voters by running with the same ballot name and party affiliation as incumbent senator, potentially diverting votes — and benefiting Democratic challenger former Rep. Mary Peltola.
Sen. Sullivan, Daniel J. Sullivan and Peltola and another Republican, Gerald Heikes, are on the general election ballot, which will be decided by ranked-choice voting.
In their court filing Friday, the Justice Department argued that allowing Daniel J. Sullivan to be on the ballot “threatens to mislead Alaskan citizens who want to vote for Senator Sullivan” and said that some of his supporters “likely will inadvertently vote for Daniel J. Sullivan.” The department said that the senator’s other supporters “likely will be confused as to how to rank the three Republican candidates as to defeat Peltola” and “might not rank Senator Sullivan at all.”
Although Alaska courts permitted Daniel J. Sullivan to remain on the ballot, the Justice Department argues that certifying an election result impacted by this confusion would violate the National Voter Registration Act.
The DOJ complaint asks the federal court to block certification if Sen. Sullivan loses, but would have won had the other Sullivan’s votes been counted for him, pending an investigation into voter intent.
Alaska voted to change its election system in 2020, and first implemented ranked choice voting in 2022. Its move away from party primaries was an attempt to curtail polarization. The state has seen unusual election outcomes in the past, notably in 2010, when Sen. Lisa Murkowski won her reelection bid on a write-in campaign, after her defeat in the GOP primary.
