Trump Seeks Removal of Alaska Candidates Amid Allegations of Ballot Spoiler Scheme
US President Donald Trump demanded the removal of Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola and a second candidate named Dan Sullivan from Alaska's upcoming election ballot, alleging a Democratic scheme to confuse voters. His claims followed a New York Times investigation reporting that Democratic operatives recruited 'spoiler' candidates to divert votes from Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. While Trump accused Democrats of illegal actions and perjury, the Times noted that such ballot strategies are generally legal and found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing or perjury.
