Trump administration sues to block certification of upcoming Alaska election

Getty Images Senator Dan Sullivan, right, is in a tight race with Democratic contender Mary Peltola. The Trump administration wants to block the certification of the Senate election in Alaska if Republican Senator Dan Sullivan loses, arguing that another candidate with the same name may confuse voters. In a federal lawsuit filed on Thursday, the justice department said the inclusion of another Dan Sullivan on the ballot could lead some to mistakenly cast their votes for the wrong candidate.

The government wants the judge to bar the state from certifying the results if Senator S...

Ruins of Limoges city hall a symbol of France divided by national protests

"It is a historical tragedy for France, not just Limoges". Just six months into his mayoral term, it is hard to imagine Guillaume Guérin having a more momentous week.

Getty Images Canada and the US are currently locked in a tit-for-tat trade war The Trump administration is lifting some of its 50% tariffs on Canadian goods two weeks before the midterm elections, after a Republican candidate in a key Senate race said she had lobbied for the change.
