Gift link: [Justice Dept Moves to Block Certification of Alaska Senate Result if Republican Loses](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10/23/us/midterm-elections-trump?unlocked_article_code=1.K1E.urPD.J_xeb8VyixK2&smid=url-share) From the article: The Justice Department, in a court filing, argued that confusion over another candidate on the ballot with a name very similar to the incumbent, Senator Dan S. Sullivan, could taint the result in a close election. I expect this is just the beginning of this bullshit.
