Sunday, November 01, 2026

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) " A federal judge on Sunday dismissed a Justice Department lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska's U.S. Senate race if Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan loses, the latest development in a ballot controversy that has roiled the final days of one of the nation's most closely watched races.

"Peltola's campaign hailed the ruling. "No sham investigation or baseless lawsuit from a weaponized Department of Justice is going to stop Alaskans from electing Mary on Nov. 3 so she can lower costs for Alaska's working families," the campaign said in a statement, alluding to a federal probe disclosed after President Donald Trump said last week that he wanted Peltola prosecuted for the scheme.

Attorneys for the state did not immediately return messages seeking comment."

imo, it still might be a long journey to certification of the results if the Democrat wins.

So sorry Alaskan voters. That election has already been decided. Thanks for playing!

CNN's Jake Tapper asked Sen. Sullivan on State of the Union Sunday if he'd refuse to accept the results if he loses.

"No, I'm going to accept the election results," Sullivan said. "And to all the Alaskan voters watching, get out there and vote. Don't let this election be stolen."
