Poll volunteers prepare as people wait in line to vote in Anchorage, Alaska on November 2, 2026. Democrat US Senate candidate Mary Peltola faces incumbent Republican US Senator Dan Sullivan in a highly contested race. A federal judge on November 1 tossed out an extremely unusual lawsuit by Trump's administration which contended that if Peltola beats the Sullivan, the result should not be certified because there is a third, minor candidate also called Dan Sullivan, which the lawsuit alleged was recruited to siphon off votes.
