Peltola’s campaign involved in effort to recruit second Dan Sullivan for Alaska Senate race: NYT
The New York Times reported that Peltola aides and Senate Democrats worked to recruit spoilers, and 46,204 ballots had already been cast, AP data showed.
- The Times reported Wednesday that Alaska Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign staff allegedly coordinated an effort to recruit a Dan Sullivan to confuse voters in the Alaska Senate Race.
- In the summer, campaign staff followed instructions to find Alaskans named Dan Sullivan, eventually identifying a candidate who entered the Election earlier this year.
- President Donald Trump, in an Oct. 21 Truth Social post, expressed he was "very concerned" about the Alaska Senate Race, calling the inclusion of the second Dan Sullivan "CHEATING" and "Election Interference."
- The Trump administration filed a lawsuit last week seeking to remove the second Dan Sullivan from the Ballot, while the Peltola campaign has repeatedly denied any involvement in his candidacy.
- Elisa Rios, Peltola's former campaign manager, recently retracted her statements to The Times, though officials note even 1, 2, or 3% could determine the Senate outcome in this contested race.
