特朗普政府诉讼欲阻止阿拉斯加参议院选举认证

特朗普政府已向联邦法院提起诉讼，要求阻止阿拉斯加参议院选举的认证13。特朗普声称他下令司法部采取这一行动23。该诉讼针对的是同名候选人丹·沙利文可能引发的混淆问题，要求法院在共和党现任参议员沙利文落选且与另一位沙利文的差距不超过特定幅度时，禁止州认证选举结果1。

这位另一候选人曾是美国森林局工作人员和退休教师1。此前，删除该候选人的努力已被阿拉斯加最高法院驳回1。特朗普政府称这位候选人是"骗局"1。

11月3日的投票前，民调显示现任参议员沙利文与民主党候选人玛丽·佩尔托拉竞争激烈，佩尔托拉保持微弱领先1。阿拉斯加采用排序选择投票制度1。法律专家对司法部的这一举措提出质疑34。

The Trump administration has filed a federal lawsuit seeking to prevent certification of Alaska's U.S. Senate election results, citing concerns about voter confusion caused by another candidate sharing the same name as the Republican incumbent 13. The lawsuit targets the race between Democrat Mary Peltrola and Senator Dan Sullivan, requesting that courts block state certification if Sullivan loses by a margin narrower than a specified threshold 13.

Trump stated that he personally ordered the Justice Department to pursue this legal action 234. The Republican incumbent has been trailing slightly in polling ahead of the November 3 election, with Peltrola maintaining a narrow lead 1. The other candidate named Dan Sullivan is a former U.S. Forest Service employee and retired teacher 1.

This lawsuit follows a previous failed effort to remove the other Sullivan from the ballot, which was rejected by Alaska's highest court 1. Legal experts have characterized the Department of Justice's challenge as dubious, with some describing it as Trump's initial attempt to overturn midterm election results 4. Alaska uses a ranked-choice voting system 1, and Trump won the state by 14 percentage points in 2024 1.
