司法部提起诉讼，寻求阻止阿拉斯加州选举官员在共和党候选人以微弱差距落后于其民主党对手时认证该州参议员选举结果。起诉文件称，选票处理中的违规情况值得在宣布任何获胜者之前进行审查。
The Justice Department filed suit seeking to block Alaska election officials from certifying the state's Senate race if the Republican candidate finishes narrowly behind his Democratic rival. The filing argues that irregularities in ballot processing warrant review before any winner is declared.
阿拉斯加州是少数几个参议员选举结果胶着、可能改变参议院席位平衡的州之一。共和党目前拥有微弱多数优势，双方战略家均表示，11月的选举可能使任一党派仅领先一两个席位。
Alaska is one of a handful of states where a tight Senate outcome could tip the chamber's balance. Republicans currently hold a slim majority, and strategists on both sides say November's contests could leave either party with only a seat or two to spare.
州选举官员表示，他们将按阿拉斯加州的标准时间表继续计票，且未接到任何暂停认证的命令。安克雷奇的一名联邦法官预计将在几天内就该请求举行听证。
State election officials said they would keep counting ballots on Alaska's standard timeline and had not been notified of any order pausing certification. A federal judge in Anchorage is expected to hear arguments on the request within days.
