WASHINGTON — "Attorney General Todd Blanche on Sunday defended the Trump administration’s lawsuit to block certification of Alaska’s U.S. Senate results if Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan loses the race and argued that the legal challenge was a necessary step to avoid confusing voters in the closely watched midterm race.
President Donald Trump, who said Friday that he was “the one that said do it,” is not trying to overturn state election results “in any way, shape or form” on the cusp of the Nov. 3 election, Blanche told CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“We wish that we didn’t have to do this. We hope for a resolution that works,” Blanche said.
Republicans fear that a second candidate on the ballot who is named Dan Sullivan — a retired teacher and school administrator from the tiny fishing community of Petersburg — could siphon away votes from the senator and tip the outcome in favor of Democrat Mary Peltola, a former congresswoman.
A day after the lawsuit was filed on Thursday, Peltola called it “just flagrant, flagrant corruption in my opinion” and a diversion tactic by Republicans. Alaska’s other Republican senator, Lisa Murkowski, also criticized the lawsuit in a social media post.
Trump told reporters on Sunday that he believed the ballot was illegal because it was unfair and that Sen. Sullivan should be identified to voters as the sitting senator.
“At least let him use the name Sen. Dan Sullivan as opposed to incumbent, because a lot of people don’t know what incumbent means,” Trump said.
Alaska voters will see “Dan S. Sullivan” identified as a “registered Republican” and “incumbent” on their ballots, while “Daniel J. Sullivan Jr.” will not have a party affiliation." —Associated Press
A lot of people don't know what "incumbent" means? Which lot of people would those be—a lot of people who Donald Trump thinks are dumber than a bag of hammers but are somehow still planning to show up for the election to support his fascist regime via his potted plant who currently sits in the U.S. Senate?
Certain MAGA people on this board—who I will not name because let's see if we can figure it out—are up in arms because Brazil left the polls open an extra two hours during a massive rainstorm, so that's obviously a plot to steal the election from their anointed authoritarian princeling.
Meanwhile, here on U.S. soil, Donald Trump and his DOJ henchclown have filed a lawsuit TO NULLIFY THE RESULTS OF AN AMERICAN ELECTION BEFORE THAT ELECTION HAS TAKEN PLACE.
When asked what was taking place that was illegal, the President of the United States replied, "It's illegal because it's unfair."
Can you imagine the outrage that must be seething in the mind of those MAGA guardians of democracy to see this outrageous attack on free and fair elections taking place right here at home?
No?
Me neither.
