Sullivan, Peltola Project Confidence While Awaiting Results in Alaska US Senate Race – WTOP News
Ranked-choice tabulation could take days as investigators examine allegations that a second Dan Sullivan entered the race to confuse voters.
- The U.S. Senate race between incumbent Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan and Democratic challenger Mary Peltola remains too close to call as officials prepare ranked-choice tabulation scheduled for November 18.
- Allegations that the Peltola campaign recruited Daniel J. Sullivan, a retired teacher, to run as a 'spoiler' candidate sparked criminal investigations and lawsuits, reviving suspicions he aimed to confuse voters.
- Alaska's remote geography and 15-day mail-in ballot deadline create a slow count, exacerbated by ranked-choice voting redistribution if no candidate secures more than 50% of first-choice votes.
- Governor Mike Dunleavy launched an investigation into recruitment claims, warning Thursday that if the probe finds 'wrongdoing,' certification could be 'stopped or changed.'
- State officials expect to certify results by November 25, though legal experts warn that narrow margins and ongoing federal probes could trigger protracted litigation.
