In Alaska, a federal judge has rejected a Trump administration lawsuit that was seeking to block certification of Tuesday’s Senate election if Republican Senator Dan Sullivan loses to Democrat Mary Peltola. The Justice Department claimed a second candidate on the ballot with a nearly identical name, Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., was running to confuse voters, and asked the court to set aside and investigate ballots cast for him. District Judge Sharon Gleason wrote in her ruling that the federal government “offers no rebuttal to the concerns regarding preservation of the secrecy of voting and provides no explanation of how its request for ballot segregation and a court-ordered investigation by law enforcement officers into certain voters’ intent could be implemented while preserving the secrecy of the ballot.” This follows The New York Times’s recent report that operatives from the Peltola campaign had recruited Daniel J. Sullivan to run to peel votes away from the incumbent Republican senator. In Michigan, Democratic Congressmember Haley Stevens switched her endorsement from progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed to Trump-backed MAGA Republican Mike Rogers just two days before an election that could decide control of the U.S. Stevens narrowly lost to El-Sayed in the Democratic Senate primary back in August. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the move “a despicable betrayal,” and several members of Stevens’s staff resigned, including her chief of staff. On Sunday, Stevens appeared with Rogers at a Black church in Detroit. The DNC’s Black Caucus chair Virgie Rollins said in a statement, “We are dismayed that Congresswoman Haley Stevens has revealed herself to be a sellout who used Black Michiganders for a political stunt.” And Drop Site News reports that a spokesperson for the Mike Rogers campaign, Abigail Ronson, is a registered foreign agent for Israel, as well as another campaign staffer, Jesse Stokes. In the hours following Stevens’s endorsement of Rogers, El-Sayed raised $1.2 million. Abdul El-Sayed: “I have a sense that you all are here today because of the decisions of somebody who’s not here right now. But I’m just going to tell you, this is a state of 10 million people who deserve a lot better from the government. I’m a lot more focused on the 9,999,998 that are not the ones you guys are talking about. They’re worried about the quality of their kids’ schools. They’re worried about the quality of the air and the water that they drink. On Sunday, Congressmember Haley Stevens was grilled by CNN’s Anderson Cooper about switching her endorsement just days before the election. Anderson Cooper: “Back in August, you posted on social media, quote, 'Mike Rogers will be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump's dangerous agenda. We can’t afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November.’ How do you — why is it OK now? Why can you afford now to give MAGA another Senate seat in November?” Rep. Haley Stevens: “Well, why is it OK to have the Democratic Party and a top nominee, you know, ejecting, you know, this type of — or, injecting, rather, this type of anger and lack of kindness? That’s all. I’m one Democrat.” A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt its recent pressure campaign against election officials nationwide. District Judge Trina Thompson said in her ruling Friday, “Although Defendants claim that their actions are designed to halt unlawful voting by noncitizens, their actions are likely to have the effect of interfering with election administration and disenfranchising lawful voters.” According to the ruling, the Justice and Homeland Security departments cannot demand that election officials in any state segregate ballots, purge voters or halt ballot processing. Judge Thompson also blocked threats of criminal prosecutions against election officials. A federal appeals panel on Friday refused the Trump administration’s request to have California set aside about 20,000 mail ballots supposedly sent to noncitizens. The order said, “If the United States believes different procedures are necessary for vote-by-mail ballots, we believe it should take that suggestion to Congress, not the courts.” This comes as the Trump administration has subpoenaed county election workers in California and charged 28 people with breaking federal election laws. California Attorney General Rob Bonta said, “The administration’s baseless claims of widespread fraud are an attempt to sow doubt in our democratic process and risk disenfranchising eligible voters. We will keep fighting to uphold the rule of law.” Republican Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas is out with a new ad against Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton’s attacks over Marshall’s medical practice. In the ad, Marshall says, “To ensure that 40,000 Kansans still had access to care, we did have to keep the lights on. So we occasionally handed accounts over to collection agencies.” A New York Times investigation found that Marshall, an OB-GYN in rural Kansas, sued more than 700 patients over unpaid bills. One of those patients, Meischa Zimmerman, filed a class-action suit last week alleging a predatory collection scheme and interest charges above Kansas’s legal cap over a missed $50 payment. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut was hospitalized on Saturday after experiencing a stroke, according to his office.
