DOJ seeks conditional restraint on Alaska Senate certification

DOJ alleges a substantial likelihood of voter confusion and asks the court to stop certification of an affected result pending investigation.

“To guard against this danger, it is vital that Defendants not certify any election result that may be impacted by voter confusion. An election result may be impacted by voter confusion if: (1) Senator Sullivan does not win the election; and (2) had all votes cast for Daniel J. Sullivan been cast instead for Senator Sullivan and Alaska’s rank-choice process played out accordingly, Senator Sullivan would have won the election.”
