The Justice Department filed a lawsuit to potentially block certification of Alaska's Senate race, citing possible voter confusion between Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan and a candidate with the same name. President Trump said he directed the suit, and Democrats and voting-rights groups have challenged it as a 'desperate attempt' to cling to power.

All 12 outlets and the headlines they were read from

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
