一名联邦法官周日驳回了司法部提起的诉讼，该诉讼试图将选票分类并推迟阿拉斯加参议院选举的认证。这是对特朗普政府试图干预2026年中期选举的一系列举措的又一次司法斥责。
美国地区法官莎伦·格里森表示，联邦政府没有权力强制阿拉斯加州对选票进行分类，而且此举将侵犯选民秘密投票的权利。她补充说，无论如何，在选举前夕，法院强制实施如此重大的变革为时已晚。
特朗普政府在诉讼中称，由于存在一位与共和党现任参议员同名的“搅局候选人”，如果参议员丹·S·沙利文落败，有理由通过法院命令对选举结果展开调查。
曾是前总统贝拉克·奥巴马提名的法官，格里森在裁决中写道：“美国没有提出可行的方案，说明其打算如何在选举日将投给丹尼尔·J·沙利文的选票进行分类，并随后以某种能够保护选民秘密的方式，对这些选票开展法院命令下尚未明确的‘调查’。”
这项裁决是特朗普政府在中期选举最后几天介入各州选举进程的努力中，遭遇的又一次司法挫折。上周五，一名联邦上诉法院驳回了司法部的一项要求，该要求是让加州选举官员将据称2万名可能为非公民的选民的选票搁置一旁。
司法部一名发言人周日表示，特朗普政府将对阿拉斯加州的裁决提出上诉，而司法部可能会就加州的裁决向最高法院提出上诉。
“阿拉斯加选民理应获得公平选举，而非被误导，使选举结果被操控，”该发言人说。
与此同时，法院也对特朗普政府查找涉嫌选民欺诈的努力以及司法部对地方选举官员发出的威胁施加了限制。此前司法部威胁称，非公民投票可能会让地方官员面临刑事处罚。上周五晚，一名联邦法官颁布了一项全面的紧急命令，限制司法部和国土安全部向任何州的选举官员提出要求，不得将选票分类、从选民名册中清除选民或停止选票处理。
美国总统乔·拜登提名的美国地区法官特里娜·汤普森还裁定，特朗普政府不得“威胁、恐吓或胁迫”选举官员，以所谓选民不合格为由要求改变选票处理程序。司法部已对该裁决提出上诉。
阿拉斯加参议院选举的新指控
民主党人玛丽·佩尔托拉正试图推翻沙利文的阿拉斯加参议院选举，本周因《纽约时报》报道的新细节而引发波澜。这些细节涉及民主党如何推动丹尼尔·J·沙利文获得参选资格，而这场选举可能决定哪个政党掌控参议院。
民事诉讼进行期间，司法部也加快了对民主党涉嫌相关行动的刑事调查，该州的共和党州长下令展开调查，同时表示可能会根据调查结果反对选举认证。
阿拉斯加官员、民主党团体以及反对司法部诉讼的无党派选民倡导组织均认为，政府没有合法权利将联邦法院卷入丹尼尔·J·沙利文参选资格的争议，而该争议已在数月前的州法院诉讼中得到解决。
他们辩称，司法部没有提供证据表明选民因为他的参选而感到困惑，尤其是选举管理人员已在选票上标注了多个识别信息，以将他与参议员沙利文区分开。
尽管司法部在诉讼中称，两位沙利文的存在可能会混淆选民，但格里森在周日的裁决中写道，如果阿拉斯加州按照司法部的要求对丹尼尔·J·沙利文的选票进行分类，实际上会让选民感到困惑。
格里森写道：“显然，如果本法院下令将某些选票进行分类，并接受未来执法部门尚未明确的调查，很可能会导致选民‘感到困惑，进而不愿意前往投票站’。这种在选举临近时突然改变选举规则的做法是极不可取的。”

Judge throws out DOJ attempt to delay certification of Alaska Senate race

A federal judge on Sunday threw out the Justice Department’s lawsuit seeking to segregate ballots and delay certification of Alaska’s Senate race, the latest legal rebuke to a rash of Trump administration attempts to meddle in the 2026 midterms.
US District Judge Sharon Gleason said the federal government doesn’t have the standing to force Alaska to segregate ballots and that such a move would violate the right of voters to cast a secret ballot. Regardless, she added, it’s too late for the courts to force such a major change on the eve of an election.
The Trump administration in its suit argued the presence of a spoiler candidate with the same name as the GOP incumbent warranted a court-ordered investigation into the results if Sen. Dan S. Sullivan lost.
Gleason, a nominee of former President Barack Obama, wrote, “The United States provides no workable plan as to how it proposes to segregate ballots cast for Daniel J. Sullivan on Election Day and then conduct a court-ordered unspecified ‘investigation’ of those ballots in a manner that would preserve voter secrecy,”
The ruling is the latest legal setback for the Trump administration in its efforts to inject itself in to states’ voting processes in the final days of the midterm elections. A federal appeals court on Friday rejected a Justice Department demand that California election officials set aside ballots from 20,000 people the administration claims could be noncitizens.
A Justice Department spokesperson said Sunday that the Trump administration would appeal the Alaska ruling, while DOJ could appeal the California decision to the Supreme Court.
“Alaskan voters deserve a fair election, not to be misled in an attempt to rig outcomes,” the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, the courts have also imposed restrictions on the Trump administration’s efforts to hunt for alleged voter fraud and on the DOJ’s threats to local election officials that they could face criminal penalties over noncitizen voting. A federal judge late Friday imposed a sweeping emergency order restricting the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security from demanding that election officials in any state segregate ballots, purge voters from voter rolls, or halt ballot processing.
US District Judge Trina Thompson, an appointee of President Joe Biden, also ruled that the Trump administration cannot “threaten, intimidate or coerce” election officials to demand changes in ballot processing procedures on claims voters are ineligible. The Justice Department has appealed the ruling.
New allegations in Alaska Senate race
The Alaska Senate race, in which Democrat Mary Peltola is trying to unseat Sullivan, was roiled this week by a New York Times report with new details about Democratic involvement in getting Daniel J. Sullivan onto the ballot in a race that could determine which party controls the Senate.
While the civil case played out, the Justice Department also accelerated its criminal probe into the alleged Democratic efforts, and the state’s Republican governor ordered an investigation, while suggesting he could oppose certification depending on the results of the probe.
Alaska officials, Democratic groups and nonpartisan voter advocacy organizations that all opposed the DOJ lawsuit argued the administration had no legal right to drag a federal court into a dispute over Daniel J. Sullivan’s candidacy that had been settled with state court litigation several months ago.
They argued the DOJ put forward no evidence that voters were confused by his inclusion — particularly as election administrators included several identifiers on the ballot to distinguish him from Sen. Sullivan.
While the Justice Department argued in its lawsuit that the presence of two Sullivans could confuse voters, Gleason wrote in her decision Sunday that voters in fact would be confused if Alaska segregated Daniel J. Sullivan ballots as the Justice Department sought.
“Clearly, if this Court were to order that certain ballots will be segregated and subject to a future and as yet unspecified investigation by law enforcement, it would likely result in voter, ‘confusion and consequent incentive to remain away from the polls,’” Gleason wrote. “Such late-breaking changes to the election rules are strongly disfavored.”
