Judge dismisses Trump lawsuit in Alaska Senate race
What the coverage says
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice that attempted to prevent the certification of an Alaska Senate race. The Trump administration's legal challenge argued that the appearance of two candidates named Daniel Sullivan on the ballot could divert voters to the benefit of the Democratic candidate, according to CBS News. The lawsuit had specifically sought to stop officials from certifying the election results if the incumbent senator lost, as reported by NBC News. The New York Times noted that the ruling rejected the pre-emptive contest against the contest featuring the candidates sharing that name.
