  "summary": "A federal judge on Sunday dismissed a lawsuit by the Department of Justice that sought to block the certification of the US Senate race in Alaska. According to Punch, the judge threw out the administration's attempt to hold up the victory of a Democratic candidate, stating that the legal move would be unworkable.\n\nLe Monde English reported that the lawsuit aimed to block certification in the event that Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan lost the race. CNBC noted that Democratic nominee Mary Peltola is facing two candidates named Dan Sullivan in the election, one of whom is the incumbent.",
