Details Flood In as Alaska Election at Risk

The New York Times just broke the story of far-Left officials rigging Alaska’s midterm election ballot for the U.S. Senate in favor of former Rep. Mary Peltola (AK).

It is just a few days until the midterm elections, and a new underhanded election scheme has just been uncovered in Alaska – there are two candidates running for senator in Alaska with the same name – Dan Sullivan.

One of them is the Dan Sullivan whom everyone is familiar with – its current Senator, while no one appears to know or have even heard of the other. That Sullivan was an unknown entity who seems to have appeared out of thin air.

Thankfully, The New York Times did a little digging and found out that this other candidate, Sullivan, who is in his late 60s, comes from a small town, and never voted for President Trump. In fact, he reportedly attended a No King’s rally.

But apparently, the day before having to submit his candidacy, this new Sullivan decided that he would now be running as a Republican. He later changed his party affiliation to unaffiliated.

After a bit more investigation, it turned out that Sullivan was being pushed to run, and as a Republican, by none other than the far-Left Alaska Senate nominee Mary Peltola. Allegedly, Peltola's campaign hatched a scheme to find another Dan Sullivan whom she could convince to run, seemingly to cause ballot confusion and hopefully pull votes away from her opponent, the incumbent, Senator Sullivan.

Peltola spent months denying that the campaign had anything to do with the alternative Sullivan. In fact, when she held a town hall back in August, Peltola shared her feelings, stating, “It should be a criminal offense to lie or mislead the electorate.”

She’s right: It should be a criminal offense to deceive the electorate. But now it appears she may have been looking at her own reflection when she made that claim.

According to The New York Times report:

Operatives aligned with Alaska Senate Democrat nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates to peel votes from her Republican rival. . . .

The group worked to coax would-be spoilers into the race to dilute the incumbent’s support.

And they’re not just pulling this out of thin air. The Times says it has the receipts:  emails and text messages saying things like, Let’s try to find all the Dan Sullivans in the area, or maybe create a MAGA party to run against the spoiler. 

These are the kinds of crafty, nefarious messages that were being exchanged between Peltola campaign workers. Again, this shocking news comes from The New York Times, which is traditionally not a friend of the Right. Clearly, what the publication has seen is too egregious to overlook.

According to the report:

The Peltola campaign has repeatedly denied any involvement in his candidacy. But The Times has found, based on interviews and text messages, along with documents prepared for a potential lawsuit against the campaign, that not only did Ms. Peltola’s team work with people trying to recruit Mr. Sullivan to run for Senate, but the effort was much broader. The group worked to coax other would-be spoilers into the race, to dilute the incumbent’s support and help catapult the Democrat to victory.

Despite her denials, it certainly looks as though Peltola and her team were intentionally plotting to manipulate the Alaska Senate race in her favor by confusing the voters. And that sounds like something we call election fraud.
