What happened
The judge dismissed the United States' suit against Alaska for lack of Article III standing, finding the government failed to establish redressability. The court noted that ballot segregation or a voter-intent investigation could not be carried out without breaching ballot secrecy, and that certification and ballot matters are state responsibilities. Roughly 60,000 early or mail ballots have already been cast and cannot be reissued. No technical vulnerability or defensive action is involved.
