What we know

An account on X notes the DOJ has no legal authority to inspect Alaska state ballots without state consent, pushing back on federal overreach in the Sullivan Senate race. Separately, another account on X reports an appeals court rejected a DOJ request to set aside 20,000 California ballots. Another account on X also reports the 'Decoy Dan' story of Sullivan leaving Alaska before a NYT exposé, as federal agents surge into the state. Multiple CT follows are retweeting alarm about election interference framing.
