Last night, the Justice Department bigfooted into the Alaska Senate race and demanded that a federal judge block certification of the election — but only if Democrat Mary Peltola wins.

They’re afraid

I mean, they’re not wrong. But that’s no reason to cancel the election.

They will not go out quietly, this will be Jan 6, but they get to be on Defense this time

These are the same Rapeublicans who in 2000 Florida said if the voters were confused by the butterfly ballots their votes should count anyways because they had no business voting in the first place.

We weren't too stupid to elect Murkowski as a write in candidate, so I'd say, yeah they are wrong.

I was bullshitting, but fair play calling me on it.

They're not asking just to cancel the whole election. It's worse.

They (the federal government) are asking for basically election loss insurance for the Republican candidate only. Only cancel the election if it arrives at the wrong result.

I don't understand why Senator Sullivan can't just file his own lawsuit. Why does he need free representation courtesy of the taxpayers?

No idiot left behind.

Because corruption
