[FOX] Sen. Dan Sullivan's re-election campaign filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit from Democrat Mary Peltola's Senate campaign on Monday, arguing the lawsuit was seeking to force Alaska elections officials to ignore state law.
Sullivan and Peltola remain locked in a razor-thin race for U.S. Senate after last week's election. Peltola's campaign filed a lawsuit against the Alaska Division of Elections on Friday seeking access to records for absentee ballots that were preliminarily rejected in the midterm election.
The Division responded to the lawsuit by stating that individual voters have yet to be notified that their ballots were rejected, and it would be improper to grant Peltola's campaign access to that data before voters themselves.
