What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentGood afternoon out east, good morning out west, and you're tuned to The Weekend Shift.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Justice Department sued Alaska election officials on Thursday over a ballot with two Dan Sullivans on it, and the president says he's the one who told them to do it.

  3. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe suit says Alaska shouldn't certify the Senate result until a voter confusion investigation is finished.

  4. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe second Sullivan is a retired teacher who got two and a half percent in the primary, and Alaska's Supreme Court already ruled both can stay on the ballot.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwo and a half percent. That's a man who won a spot on a ballot the way I win raffles.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMeanwhile, Trump also said Alaskans may not know what incumbent means. Senator Lisa Murkowski says the Justice Department should never have filed it.

  7. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIn Paris, Aaron Rodgers threw his five hundred fortieth touchdown pass, passing Peyton Manning by one, as the Steelers beat the Saints sixteen to ten.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOne touchdown. Peyton will be demanding a recount, and apparently so will Alaska.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd the WNBA Finals may not know where Game 6 is.

  10. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Dream sold out seventeen thousand seats for Games 3 and 4, and their home arena holds thirty-five hundred. Pick the bigger one, people.
