Trump's DOJ sues to stop Alaska certifying its Senate race because a SECOND Dan Sullivan is standing
Abdul El-Sayed introduces Barack Obama at a Detroit rally, a day before Donald Trump heads to Michigan to campaign in the knife-edge Senate race between the two men.Donald Trump and Melania vote in Florida. Trump, heading to Michigan having not campaigned there all year, told a Georgia rally the country is living in "the golden age of America.
Republican Senator Dan S Sullivan shares the 3 November ballot with retired teacher Daniel J Sullivan Jr, dubbed 'Decoy Dan' by critics. That second Sullivan is registered Republican but admits voting Democrat. The lawsuit seeks to block certification if Decoy Dan's votes would have handed the incumbent victory over Democrat Mary Peltola. President Donald Trump said: 'I'm the one who said do it.'
Attorney General Todd Blanche said of the second candidate: 'There could be a crime.'
Alaska's own Republican Lisa Murkowski said the DOJ 'should never have filed this lawsuit'.
Trump hit back, branding Murkowski 'The Republicans' Worst Senator' and a 'DISGRACE'.
