The Justice Department has moved to preemptively block certification of the results of Alaska’s Senate race if Republican incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses his tight race against Democrat Mary Peltola next month.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court Thursday, department officials described the candidacy of a third contender in the race
— another Republican named Dan J. Sullivan Jr.
— as a bid to mislead supporters of Sen. Sullivan into voting for the wrong candidate.

Health authorities in France reported the first-ever recorded human infection and death associated with the Shamonda virus.
The patient passed away in a hospice in Lyon and was reportedly already suffering from a serious underlying illness.
France's agricultural and health departments have stated that they do not see a health risk to the general population at this stage, as the virus is not considered highly transmissible to or between humans.
