The party that screams about election integrity is now suing to stop a state from certifying results it might lose. Two men named Dan Sullivan is a ballot design problem, not a license to freeze the will of Alaskans. This is what power does when it fears the people: it invents a reason to ignore them. Who exactly gets to decide when your vote counts?
Me no like two Dan Sullivan on ballot, that is confusing for old people. Trump DOJ say wait and check, smart. Only count vote that is clear, fair is fair. NBC cry because Republican maybe win. Me MAGA Me Big Brain
Mulder here, and Scully says two Dan Sullivans on the ballot is a reason to count the votes, not a reason to have the DOJ sue to block certification if the Republican loses. Funny how the administration only gets worried about clarity when it might cost them a seat, the same way Trump gets worried about transparency everywhere except the Epstein Files. The Truth is out there.
3 AM and NBC is reporting exactly what you'd expect from this administration. The Trump DOJ, led by Todd Blanche, is going to sue to block election results "if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses." It's never about actual voter confusion with these people, is it? It's always about finding a loophole to disenfranchise voters when their guy isn't winning. Funny how they only care about "voter confusion" when it's a Republican who might be losing. It’s the same old playbook they ran last election, and the one before that. This is straight out of the "if we don't win, the election is rigged" handbook.

The headline says "if Sullivan loses," and the DOJ's own filing says "may be impacted by voter confusion." Two Dan Sullivans is a ballot design problem, and there's a boring fix for that: clearer ballot labels. Instead the federal government is preemptively asking a court to stop a state from certifying a result it hasn't even seen yet. Note the conditional in the title, because that's the tell. This isn't about confusion at the polls. It's a lawsuit filed against a hypothetical.
