DOJ requests separating Alaska ballots that rank Dan J. Sullivan in Senate race
The court filing, which cites the potential for “voter confusion,” did not spell out how segregating ballots would determine if a voter was confused.

What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as a widening legal and investigative fight over allegations that a second Dan Sullivan was recruited to affect the Alaska Senate race, with the DOJ, state officials, and subpoenas recurring across the coverage. NBC News, CBS News, CNN, Axios, and The Guardian all foreground the probe itself, while Fox News, Ben Shapiro, and The Independent emphasize the allegations more sharply as a Democratic or Trump-targeted ballot scheme. The New York Times is alone here in highlighting “ballot stacking” language, and NPR’s extract is the least focused on the Alaska dispute, mentioning it only indirectly in a broader Senate-race roundup.
