Midterm Election Coverage Focuses on Races, Candidates and Fallout
Trump's administration is pursuing a criminal probe into Alaska's Senate race. On Saturday it said a fight over California mail-in ballots will likely reach the Supreme Court.
Prosecutors are examining whether Peltola aides helped recruit Daniel J. Sullivan Jr.
He is a retired schoolteacher whose name resembles Sen. Dan S. Sullivan's.
Thousands of California mail-in ballots are at issue in a separate dispute.
35 Senate seats and 435 House seats are on Tuesday's ballot.
Why it matters: Alaska's close race is viewed as central to Democrats' chances of winning the Senate. A federal probe there could shape the race's final days.
The outcome sets congressional control for Trump's final two years.
