Controversy and Investigation Surround Alaska Senate Race Between Sullivan and Peltola
The Alaska Senate race between Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola remains close amid controversy involving a second candidate named Dan Sullivan. President Trump and the Justice Department allege that Peltola's campaign recruited a 'fake' Dan Sullivan to split Republican votes, a claim denied by Peltola's team. The DOJ is investigating and appealing a lawsuit dismissal. Alaska's ranked-choice voting system complicates the situation, with about 75,000 votes still uncounted and Peltola currently leading.
