The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Alaska seeking to block the certification of election results if Republican candidate Daniel Sullivan loses the race. Filed on Thursday, the legal action argues that the state must take measures to protect the integrity of federal elections.
The contest involves Daniel Sullivan, a candidate from the small fishing community of Petersburg, and Democratic Representative Mary Peltola. The intervention by the administration aims to prevent a Peltola victory from being officially certified should Sullivan trail in the final count.
