Alaska Governor Orders Probe Into Peltola Campaign’s Alleged Effort to Recruit Second Dan Sullivan
The governor ordered a probe after a report said Democratic allies helped recruit a same-name candidate to confuse voters and dilute support for Sen. Dan Sullivan.
- Alaska's Republican governor ordered an investigation into alleged Democratic efforts to recruit a Senate candidate with the same name as GOP incumbent Dan Sullivan to confuse voters.
- The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign both denied involvement in the alleged scheme to recruit a spoiler candidate for the Alaska Senate race.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump said Peltola should drop out of the Alaska Senate race and face criminal charges over allegations raised in a New York Timesreport.
- Alaska election officials told CNN that the Trump administration has no role in deciding candidate eligibility, following a DOJ lawsuit aimed at blocking certification if the incumbent loses.
- Experts suggest the reported recruiting of a spoiler candidate does not appear to be illegal, yet the official investigation continues to shape the political narrative surrounding the Alaska Senate race.
