The U.S. Department of Justice is moving to separate specific Alaska ballots as an active criminal investigation unfolds regarding the state's Senate race involving candidate Dan J. Sullivan.
Federal officials filed a request for a preliminary injunction in the Alaska election case, asking authorities to isolate the ballots in question while the inquiry continues. According to the U.S. Attorney, the criminal investigation into the Senate race remains ongoing.
The legal maneuver in Alaska comes amid broader national scrutiny over ballot handling and election integrity measures. Further details regarding the scope of the investigation and the specific ballots targeted are expected to emerge as the court reviews the Justice Department's injunction request.
