> Republican Senator Dan Sullivan said he would accept the Alaska Senate race outcome, while accusing his Democratic challenger, Mary Peltola, of cheating. A federal judge dismissed the Justice Department’s bid to block certification, saying ballots had been commingled and the government offered no workable plan to investigate them while protecting voter secrecy.
