RINO Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski has joined forces with the Democrats again in opposing the Department of Justice’s lawsuit against the Democrats’ dirty trick in the Alaska Senate race.
The controversy centers on Daniel J. Sullivan, who ran in the Senate primary as a Republican and is now running in the general election as a no-party-affiliated candidate after receiving just 2.5% of the vote.
The scheme is intended to confuse voters into voting for the wrong Dan Sullivan, giving Democrat Mary Peltola a victory in the solid red state.
The DOJ on Friday sued to block certification of Alaska’s Senate race if the Democrats’ decoy, Daniel J. Sullivan, causes incumbent Senator Dan S. Sullivan to lose.
The lawsuit argues that “some supporters of Senator Sullivan likely will inadvertently vote for Daniel J. Sullivan.”
“To guard against this danger, it is vital that Defendants not certify any election result that may be impacted by voter confusion,” the filing says.
The DOJ seeks to prevent certification of the results if “(1) Senator Sullivan does not win the election; and (2) had all votes cast for Daniel J. Sullivan been cast instead for Senator Sullivan and Alaska’s rank-choice process played out accordingly, Senator Sullivan would have won the election.”
Now, the Democrats are fighting back, represented by Marc Elias’ Elias Law Group.
And they don’t need to look far for Republican support, as anti-Trump RINO Lisa Murkowski, the senior Senator from Alaska, is already on board.
She released a statement this morning, decrying the Department of Justice’s lawsuit and claiming that “Alaskans don’t need any help voting for their preferred candidates.”
“The State of Alaska has already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year’s ballot,” she said.
“The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit.”
