Sullivan moves to block Peltola lawsuit in tight Alaska Senate race

foxnews.com — November 9, 2026 at 08:01 PM UTC

Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan's campaign filed a motion to intervene Monday in Democrat Mary Peltola's lawsuit against Alaska's Division of Elections, accusing her of trying to "rig the system" in their razor-thin Senate race. Peltola's campaign sued Friday for access to records of preliminarily rejected absentee ballots, but the Division said voters haven't been notified yet, making disclosure improper. Sullivan's spokesman called the lawsuit an attempt to "change the rules while votes are still being counted." Peltola leads by about 600 votes with over 25% uncounted. The race has been marked by GOP allegations over a "Decoy Dan" ballot scheme, which Alaska's Supreme Court allowed despite a state investigation.
