El fiscal general Todd Blanche dijo a NPR que la demanda del Departamento de Justicia se presentó para evitar la confusión de los votantes en la contienda del Senado de Alaska, y no para ayudar al presidente Trump a impugnar los resultados electorales. La demanda se interpuso el 21 de octubre, cuando el departamento argumentó que un segundo candidato llamado Dan Sullivan podía confundir a los votantes y solicitó bloquear la certificación de los resultados del Senado, que podrían decidir el control del cuerpo, informó Reuters.

Posteriormente, grupos alineados con los demócratas solicitaron intervenir en el caso, y los abogados de la candidata demócrata Mary Peltola y del Comité de Campaña del Senado Demócrata pidieron a un juez federal desestimar la demanda, según CNBC y NBC News. La senadora Lisa Murkowski criticó la demanda, y Blanche rechazó las preguntas sobre si el proceso podría usarse para revertir los resultados electorales, informó The Independent.

Resumen

Two claims were partially confirmed: Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the Justice Department's suit aims to prevent voter confusion in Alaska's Senate race, and the lawsuit alleges voter confusion between two candidates named Dan Sullivan. There was not enough evidence to confirm that the Justice Department filed a lawsuit on October 24, 2026, seeking to halt certification of Alaska's Senate race, nor that Attorney General Todd Blanche said the suit is not intended to aid President Trump in contesting election results.
