处理司法部的联邦法官试图阻止阿拉斯加州参议员竞选的认证如果共和党参议员丹·沙利文（Dan Sullivan）以微弱优势落败，这表明周一DOJ的法律战略受到相当大的质疑。
地区法官莎伦·格里森（Sharon Gleason）在她承认该案的第一份命令中强调了政府行动的最后一刻性质，特别是因为阿拉斯加人已经开始投票。
格里森说：“在阿拉斯加人已经开始为2026年11月的选举投票后，在阿拉斯加最高法院指示选举司将丹尼尔·j·沙利文列入即将举行的美国参议院选举的选票后近四个月，美国于2026年10月22日启动了这一行动。”
“如果＇（1） ［Dan S．］ Sullivan没有赢得选举，美国寻求法院命令阻止被告认证2026年11月美国参议院选举的结果；（2）如果所有投给丹尼尔·j·沙利文的选票都投给了［丹·s·沙利文］，而阿拉斯加的等级选择过程也相应地进行下去，［丹·s·沙利文］就会赢得选举。＂
周五，唐纳德·特朗普总统表示，如果共和党参议员丹·沙利文失败，他已指示司法部先发制人地提起诉讼，试图阻止对至关重要的阿拉斯加州参议员竞选的认证，理由是候选人之间的姓名混乱。
共和党人声称，候选人丹·沙利文（Dan J． Sullivan）正在进行一场虚假的竞选活动，故意混淆选民，并从现任参议员丹·沙利文（Dan S． Sullivan）那里拉走选票，因为他们的名字相似。
地区法官的命令是对寻求加入案件并驳回诉讼的各方的一系列快速简报的回应。
格里森在周一的命令中表示，她打算在当地时间周三下午5点之前就外部各方加入的请求做出裁决。她尚未表示是否会举行听证会。
Judge appears skeptical of DOJ＇s legal maneuvering in Alaska lawsuit
The federal judge handling the Justice Department＇sbid to block certification of Alaska＇s Senate raceif Republican Sen． Dan Sullivan narrowly loses signaled considerable skepticism of DOJ＇s legal strategy on Monday．
In her first order acknowledging the case， District Judge Sharon Gleason highlighted the last-minute nature of the government＇s actions， especially as Alaskans have already begun casting their ballots．
＂After Alaskans had already begun casting their ballots for the November 2026 election -- and nearly four months after the Alaska Supreme Court directed the Division of Elections to include Daniel J． Sullivan on the ballot for the upcoming United States Senate election -- the United States initiated this action on October 22， 2026，＂ Gleason said．
＂The United States seeks a court order to prevent Defendants from certifying the result of the November 2026 United States Senate election if ＇（1） ［Dan S．］ Sullivan does not win the election； and （2） had all votes cast for Daniel J． Sullivan been cast instead for ［Dan S．］ Sullivan and Alaska＇s rank-choice process played out accordingly， ［Dan S．］ Sullivan would have won the election．＇＂
On Friday， President Donald Trump said that he had directed the Justice Department to preemptively file a lawsuit to try to block the certification of the crucial Alaska Senate race if Republican Sen． Dan Sullivan loses， citing name confusion among the candidates．
Republicans have alleged that candidate Dan J． Sullivan is running a sham campaign to purposefully confuse voters and draw votes away from incumbent Sen． Dan S． Sullivan based on their names being similar．
The district judge＇s order came in response to a rapid series of briefings from parties seeking to join the case and dismiss the lawsuit．
Gleason said in her order on Monday that she intends to issue a ruling on a request for outside parties to join by Wednesday at 5 p．m． local time． She has yet to indicate whether she will hold a hearing．
