President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday that he directed the Department of Justice to file a lawsuit challenging the results of Alaska’s Senate race if it’s impacted by “voter confusion.”

Incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan (R-AK) is running for reelection in a toss-up race against Democratic former Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK). The race, which is already at single-digit margins in polling between Sen. Sullivan and Peltola, is further complicated by the fact that a second Dan Sullivan, former Forest Service employee Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., is also on the ballot.
