Alaska Governor: Election Certification ‘Could Be Stopped’ Due to Peltola Probe
Dunleavy said Alaska may delay certification while investigators examine claims that a same-name Senate candidate was recruited to pull votes from the incumbent.
- On Thursday, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy suggested the state might withhold certification of the U.S. Senate election results if Democrat Mary Peltola wins, pending an investigation into alleged candidate recruitment.
- Allegations reported by The New York Times suggest operatives aligned with Peltola recruited Daniel J. Sullivan, a retired teacher, to confuse voters and draw support from incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan.
- The Justice Department sued last week to block certification if the incumbent loses due to alleged 'voter confusion,' while the Alaska Bureau of Investigation initiated a probe into whether the scheme violated state laws.
- Peltola denied involvement, stating she 'knew nothing about any other candidate' on the ballot; her victory could give Democrats one of the four seats needed to challenge Republicans' 53-47 majority.
- Daniel J. Sullivan maintains he entered the race independently and was unhappy with the incumbent's representation; the Alaska Supreme Court previously ordered the Division of Elections to include him on the primary ballot.
