A federal judge on Sunday dismissed the Department of Justice lawsuit that sought to delay certification of the Alaska Senate election because of potential voter confusion from having two candidates named Dan Sullivan on the ballot, one of whom is the Republican incumbent.

The ruling came two days before Election Day.

Judge Sharon Gleason, in her decision, said the federal government had failed to establish that it had legal standing to file the civil complaint in U.S. District Court in Anchorage.

The ruling is a victory for the campaign of Democratic nominee Mary Peltola, who, along with state election officials and others, had asked Gleason to dismiss the DOJ’s lawsuit.

President Donald Trump has said he ordered the lawsuit, which was filed more than a week ago.

Trump argued that Peltola and other Democrats had recruited a retired school teacher named Dan Sullivan to run in the race in the hope of confusing voters who wanted to cast their ballots for Sen. Dan Sullivan.
