Alaska judge fast-tracks bids to dismiss DOJ lawsuit over second Sullivan candidacy
State and Peltola campaign challenge DOJ authority; campaign and DSCC deny involvement in recruitment
A federal judge in Alaska has kept on a fast track efforts to dismiss a Department of Justice lawsuit that seeks to delay certification of the state's Senate election over potential voter confusion from having two candidates named Dan Sullivan on the ballot. Judge Sharon Gleason has ordered the DOJ to respond by Friday afternoon to new dismissal motions filed after the department amended its complaint, and she could rule before Election Day on Tuesday.
