Judge Gleason dismisses DOJ Alaska Senate lawsuit

Judge Gleason dismissed the U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit against Alaska Senate election procedures, citing secret ballot concerns and ruling the Department of Justice lacked standing to file the petition. The Department of Justice filed an appeal.

House Oversight Chairman Comer stated Peltola might not take office if she wins. No charges have been filed in the Alaska decoy investigation.

Polls show Democrats leading in key states: El-Sayed leads Rogers 53-42% in Michigan, Talarico leads Paxton 50-43% in Texas, and Jackson leads Collins in Maine. Brown leads Husted in Ohio, Hamilton leads Marshall in Kansas, Peltola leads Sullivan in Alaska, and Turek leads Hinson in Iowa. The New York Times/Siena poll shows Ricketts leading Osborne in Nebraska.

Kalshi market estimates show Hamilton's Kansas lead at 61% and predict Democrats may win 54 Senate seats.

The Department of Justice requested the court hold the immigrant rights group CHIRLA in contempt for releasing a California list; Judge Boasberg's ruling is pending. Judge Thompson ordered protection for California election staff.

The weather department warned of severe storms from Mississippi Valley to East Texas on polling day, with flood risks near Memphis. Heavy rain is expected in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Michigan, while Maine will be dry. Trump stated he would take prosecution action against Democratic lawyer Marc Elias. The public comment period for H-1B visa proposals remains open until Nov. 13.
