Alaska Dems caught red-handed; Mary Peltola knew of ‘Dan Sullivan’ ballot plot 

Talk about under-handed politics! Alaska Democrats have been caught red-handed trying to rig the Senate race in favor of their candidate, Mary Peltola.  

You have probably noticed that this race has an interesting feature: there’s not one but two people on the Senate ballot who are named Dan Sullivan. One of them is the incumbent Republican senator. The other is just some totally random guy who isn’t actually interested in serving in the Senate at all.  

And, according to bombshell reporting by The New York Times, we now know for certain that this Sullivan doppelganger was recruited by Democratic political activists, who coordinated with the Peltola campaign and operated with Peltola’s full awareness.  

Kudos to The Times breaking this story. Reporter Kellen Browning spoke with Elisa Rios, formerly manager of the Peltola campaign before she was fired in August, who provided extensive details about the scheme. Rios said Alaskan voters deserved to know what really happened, and confirmed that Peltola was well aware of it.  

According to the Times, the Peltola campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee worked with a political operative........
