Alaska: Trump Team’s Demand to Set Aside Senate Ballots “Not Even Possible”

Alaska’s state attorneys on Saturday asked U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason to dismiss a Justice Department lawsuit that could block certification of the U.S. Senate race if Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan narrowly loses. They called the demand to segregate ballots cast for challenger Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. “inappropriate and not even possible” because ballots are commingled to protect voter secrecy. The state says ballots are already kept for 22 months.
