The US Justice Department filed a lawsuit in Alaska at President Donald Trump’s request, seeking to delay certification of the election result over concerns that voters could confuse two candidates with similar names on the ballot. The case concerns incumbent Republican senator Dan S. Sullivan and Dan J. Sullivan, a Republican running as an independent candidate. The reports said certification would be postponed if required by the case. They also reported that Dan S. Sullivan was level in polls with Democrat Mary Peltola ahead of the 3 November election.
