/**
* Subscriber API for the Fides CMP-applicability resolution. Invokes
* `callback` exactly once with `{ gppApplies, tcfApplies }` describing which CMPs
* (TCF, GPP) apply to the current user.
*
* Exposed publicly on `window.fidesUtils.onCmpResolved` so any code on the page
* can subscribe regardless of when it loads relative to `fidesScript`.
*
* The two branches handle a timing problem inherent to fire-and-forget
* browser events: `window.dispatchEvent` only delivers to listeners
* registered *before* the dispatch — there is no buffering or replay for
* late subscribers. Without explicit handling, any consumer that called
* `onCmpResolved` after the publisher (`conveyFidesCmpResolution`) had already dispatched the
* `FIDES_CMP_RESOLVED` event would hang forever waiting for an event
* that already happened.
*
* - **Late subscriber** (`lastCmpResolution !== undefined`): the resolution
* has already been published. Invoke `callback` synchronously with
* the captured `lastCmpResolution` payload.
*
* - **On-time subscriber** (`lastCmpResolution === undefined`): the
* resolution has not yet been published. Register a one-time
* (`{ once: true }`) listener for `FIDES_CMP_RESOLVED`; when the
* event fires, forward `event.detail` to `callback`.
*
* `{ once: true }` matters because the publisher can dispatch
* `FIDES_CMP_RESOLVED` more than once per page load — once per loaded
* `<script>` tag's `onload` (TCF, GPP stub, GPP), and again on each
* `loadFides` re-run (`initWebview:ios`, `purrCacheRefreshed`). Without
* `{ once: true }` an on-time subscriber would have its callback invoked
* multiple times for what is conceptually a single resolution event.
*
* Note: the two branches return data from different sources. The on-time
* path replays `event.detail` (the original dispatched payload). The
* late path *recomputes* the payload from `pageCookies`. These produce
* the same result today only because `pageCookies` happens not to change
* between dispatch and replay — a future change that updates
* `pageCookies` outside `loadFides` would create a real divergence.
*
* @param callback - Invoked once with `{ gppApplies, tcfApplies }` indicating
* which CMPs apply to this user, or `undefined` if a custom
* `FIDES_CMP_RESOLVED` event was dispatched without `detail`.

*
* @param cookieStr - The document cookie string to parse

Sullivan, could taint the election result.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">Polls show that the senator is in a close race against Mary Peltola, a Democrat. However, the four-person ballot also includes Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., and does not list any party registration. The senator’s line on the state ballot describes him as the incumbent.</p></div><aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"></aside></div><div data-testid="Dropzone-1"></div><div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-1"><div class="css-53u6y8"><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">The administration’s new legal gambit highlights its intensifying efforts to claim authority over the midterm elections, as control of Congress hangs in the balance. Elections are administered by state and local officials, but in recent weeks, the Trump administration has filed lawsuits seeking to alter how states like Alaska and California do so.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">David Becker of the Center for Election Innovation & Research, a nonpartisan group that advises election officials, said he could not recall a similar instance in which the federal government had sought to block certification of an election, “and certainly not 11 days before an election.” State officials have already addressed the issue of the candidate with a similar name, he said.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">“D.O.J. making this claim this late smells of political interference and is against D.O.J. policy,” Mr. Becker said. “The feds have absolutely no authority to tell Alaska when and how to certify. The state officials are following Alaska state law, as the Constitution requires.” He said he expected the courts to reject the administration’s lawsuit.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">For months, Republicans <a class="css-povzk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/29/us/politics/alaska-dan-sullivan-senate-ballot.html" title="">have tried to get the second Mr. Sullivan off the ballot</a>, arguing he is a Democratic plant meant to siphon away key votes in a thinly populated state where the winner could be decided by a narrow margin. Republicans noted the challenger had only recently registered as a Republican; he acknowledged working with a Democratic strategist to get on the ballot; and he had a history of donating to Democratic candidates, including Ms. Peltola.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">Nevertheless, in June, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled that the second Mr. Sullivan could appear on the ballot, ahead of the primary.</p></div><aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"></aside></div><div data-testid="Dropzone-3"></div><div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-2"><div class="css-53u6y8"><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">Democrats have maintained they have no connection to the second Mr. Sullivan, a retired elementary-school teacher living in the small fishing village of Petersburg, southeast of Juneau. And the candidate himself has said that he is running in good faith, as a moderate Republican unhappy with the incumbent senator’s tenure.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">“My intention is not to trick people,” he <a class="css-povzk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/us/politics/dan-sullivan-alaska-senate-primary.html" title="">said in an interview in Petersburg</a> in August. “I would hope people are informed enough to know the difference between an incumbent senator and a teacher.” Still, he acknowledged having voted for Democrats, including Ms. Peltola, in recent elections.</p><div id="NYT_MAIN_CONTENT_2_REGION" class="css-9tf9ac" data-testid="region"></div><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">The lawsuit, signed by a senior Justice Department official, Stanley Woodward, argues “there is a realistic chance that, even if a majority of Alaskans wish to vote for Senator Sullivan, Daniel J. Sullivan’s presence on the ballot will result in a victory for Peltola.”</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">To guard against voter confusion, the suit argues, Alaska should “not certify any election result that may be impacted by voter confusion.” The possibility of such confusion exists, the suit continued, if “(1) Senator Sullivan does not win the election; and (2) had all votes cast for Daniel J. Sullivan been cast instead for Senator Sullivan and Alaska’s rank-choice process played out accordingly, Senator Sullivan would have won the election.”</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">Alaska’s ranked-choice voting system allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, with the tallies used in the event that no candidate secures a majority of the first-choice vote.</p></div><aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"></aside></div><div data-testid="Dropzone-5"></div><div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-3"><div class="css-53u6y8"><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">Political observers in the state have suggested that system could reduce the impact of a spoiler candidate, because voters who rank both Sullivans would see their votes ultimately go to the incumbent senator, assuming the other Mr. Sullivan is eliminated in an earlier round. But some Republicans have said they fear a scenario where their voters rank only a single Sullivan — and accidentally choose the one from Petersburg — depriving the senator of those votes.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">The Trump administration argues that the system could add to confusion in the Senate race, because voters might confuse the Sullivans and rank the candidates in an order different than what they intended.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">Mr. Trump has repeatedly attacked ranked-choice voting and criticized the decision to allow the second Mr. Sullivan’s name to remain on the ballot. On Wednesday night, he did so again on social media, writing, “It’s ridiculous that the Court didn’t stop this SCAM.”</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">Representatives for Alaska’s Division of Elections and the state’s lieutenant governor’s office, which oversees the division, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">The other Mr. Sullivan, of Petersburg, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">A spokesman for Senator Sullivan’s campaign said in a statement that voters would be able to make the distinction between candidates. “We’ll let the D.O.J. complaint run its course,” said the spokesman, Nate Adams. “Alaskans can tell the difference between a Democrat sideshow and Senator Sullivan’s strong record of delivering for Alaska.”</p></div><aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"></aside></div><div data-testid="Dropzone-7"></div><div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-4"><div class="css-53u6y8"><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">Harry Child, a spokesman for Ms. Peltola, said the Justice Department’s lawsuit was a “despicable political threat to overturn an election” that aimed to “suppress the voices of Alaskans because Sullivan is terrified he’ll lose the seat.” </p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">Alaska’s other Republican senator, Lisa Murkowski, who has often broken with her party to criticize Mr. Trump, also denounced the move. “Alaskans don’t need any help voting for their preferred candidates,” she wrote on social media, adding that the state had “already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year’s ballot. The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit.”</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">The Justice Department lawsuit argues that if the incumbent Republican loses and it appears he might have won but for the other Mr. Sullivan on the ballot, then the vote should not be certified until “an investigation to determine whether votes cast for Daniel J. Sullivan were meant to be cast for Senator Sullivan and any further procedures or relief this court deems necessary and appropriate.” It is unclear how such an investigation would work, since ballots are cast anonymously.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">The 14-page lawsuit is the latest demand from the Trump administration as it tries to assert more control over elections.</p><p class="css-12m5bll evys1bk0">This month, the Justice Department <a class="css-povzk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/22/us/politics/trump-california-mail-ballot-lawsuit.html" title="">sued the State of California</a> over what it says are 20,000 noncitizens registered to vote in the state.
