  "account": "A federal judge has dismissed a Justice Department lawsuit seeking to block the certification of Alaska's U.S. Senate race if Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan loses, according to the Associated Press. The lawsuit, filed less than two weeks before the election, alleged that votes for retired teacher Dan J. Sullivan Jr. were intended for the actual senator. However, U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason dismissed the case, stating that the relief sought was \"infeasible\" and that there is no way to determine the intention of the ballots without violating voter privacy. The lawsuit was prompted by concerns that the second Dan Sullivan could siphon votes from Sullivan Jr. and interfere with the election, which is expected to determine control of the Senate. The Justice Department plans to appeal the ruling.",
