DOJ Seeks Conditional Halt to Alaska Senate Race Certification

The Justice Department is asking a federal judge to delay certification of Alaska’s Senate winner only if a vote-transfer test suggests incumbent Republican Dan S. Sullivan would otherwise have won. The department filed its case in federal court in Alaska on Oct. 22. Its request would apply if Sullivan loses and the result changes when votes for Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. are treated as votes for the incumbent under Alaska’s ranked-choice rules. The department seeks to block certification while officials investigate whether voters who selected the second Sullivan meant to choose the senator.
