FBI Visits Dan J. Sullivan Donor in Candidate’s Home Town as Alaska Senate Inquiry Widens
Federal agents are questioning donors and seeking to isolate ballots as they investigate possible voter confusion over a candidate with the same name as the incumbent.
- Federal authorities ramped up their investigation into Alaska Senate candidate Dan J. Sullivan on Friday, as the Department of Justice sought a court order to isolate certain ballots amid potential voter confusion concerns.
- The New York Times reported that Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign recruited the retired teacher to detract from incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan, prompting a significant surge of law enforcement assets to Alaska.
- FBI agents began contacting donors on Friday, including Charles Flint, who donated $500, asking if they felt "misled" about which candidate they supported. Flint told the Associated Press he intends to rank Peltola first on his ballot.
- At an Anchorage rally on Friday, Peltola denied involvement in any recruitment plan, calling the allegations "garbage" and a "smear campaign" intended "to suppress turnout on the eve of the election."
- These developments arrive just days before Tuesday's ranked-choice general election in a potentially pivotal race between the incumbent Republican and challenger Peltola. The investigation intensifies as voters prepare to decide.
