Justice Department Expands Election-Related Legal Activity in Alaska and California
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed lawsuits concerning the Alaska Senate election and appealed a case regarding alleged noncitizen voters in California, expanding its pre-election legal activities.
Sioux Falls, SD, October 23, 2026 —
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed lawsuits concerning the Alaska Senate election and appealed a case involving alleged noncitizen voters in California, according to the available summary of the department’s pre-election legal activity.
The summary describes two actions: lawsuits related to the Alaska Senate election and an appeal in a California case. It does not specify how many lawsuits were filed, who the parties are, which courts are handling the matters, or what legal arguments the department has raised. It also does not identify the court decision being appealed in California.
The California matter concerns alleged noncitizen voters, but the summary provides no details about the allegations, the number of people involved, or any findings by a court. The description does not establish that the allegations have been proven. No outcome or next procedural step is provided for either the Alaska lawsuits or the California appeal.
The actions are described as part of an expansion of the department’s pre-election legal activities. The summary does not give dates for the filings or explain how the Alaska and California matters relate to one another beyond their inclusion in that broader activity.
Further information about the claims, requested remedies, court proceedings and responses from other parties was not provided. Without those details, the specific legal and practical implications of the actions cannot be determined from the summary alone.
