Shameful indictment on the judiciary in this country

Imagine being a federal judge looking at a Senate race where, according to the New York Times, people tied to Mary Peltola's campaign and the DSCC went digging through voter rolls to find a retired teacher from Petersburg named Daniel J. Sullivan, and he ends up on the same ballot as Senator Dan Sullivan in a ranked choice state that was already built to confuse people… and your answer is that nobody can do anything about it.

That is what Judge Sharon Gleason just did. She threw out the DOJ lawsuit to set aside the ballots cast for the decoy Dan so the fraud could actually be investigated, and she did it for three reasons that should make every voter in this country sick. The federal government lacks standing. Separating those ballots would violate ballot secrecy. And it is too late to change anything this close to Election Day.

Let me explain what that means in plain English. There is a federal criminal probe with grand jury subpoenas out, the Governor of Alaska ordered his own state investigation, and the court's answer is basically tough luck, the clock ran out, count them anyway. Too late? Too late for who? The people who planned this knew exactly when to run it, and they knew a court would say the words "too close to the election" because that is what courts say every single time the deck is stacked and the timing is the whole trick.

Shameful indictment on the judiciary in this country. These judges have fallen so far from their pedestals.
