The Justice Department told a federal judge Tuesday that a second Daniel Sullivan on Alaska's Senate ballot is "a sham candidate," as the state's election officials asked the court to dismiss a federal suit that could delay certification if Sen. Dan Sullivan loses. The case leans on a June finding by Alaska's own elections director that state courts later overturned. A ruling on who may join the case is expected Wednesday.

Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee asked a federal judge on Friday to let them join, and then throw out, the Justice Department's lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska's Senate race if Sen. Dan Sullivan loses. President Trump said he ordered the suit.
