Peltola’s campaign involved in effort to recruit second Dan Sullivan for Alaska Senate race: NYT
The Times says the effort involved campaign staff and Senate Democrats’ aides, with 46,204 ballots already cast as the race heads to a close finish.
- 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."

- 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.
