Senator Adam Schiff has accused the Justice Department of trying to interfere with elections through its lawsuit concerning Alaska's Senate ballot. The lawsuit follows allegations from Republicans that a candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan is intended to mislead voters against incumbent Senator Dan S. Sullivan. State courts allowed both candidates to remain on the ballot, but the DOJ is seeking to delay certification of the election results if the namesake candidate's votes impact the outcome. Schiff argues that the matter has already been settled by state courts.
