A federal judge issued a ruling on Sunday that dismissed a lawsuit filed by the administration of the U.S. president. The lawsuit had sought to stop Alaska from officially confirming a potential loss by Republican Senator Dan Sullivan in the upcoming primary election. The request aimed to prevent any impact that votes for Sullivan’s replacement among the challengers might have on the final tally. By rejecting the case, the court removed the legal obstacle that could have delayed the certification of the primary results. The decision means Alaska can proceed with its normal vote‑counting and certification process. The move came as the primary is scheduled for Tuesday, leaving little time for further legal challenges. The dismissal underscores the courts’ reluctance to intervene in the internal mechanics of state elections.
