New York Times reports Democratic operatives recruited a second Dan Sullivan to run for Alaska Senate
The New York Times published an investigation reporting that Mary Peltola's campaign aides and DSCC officials worked on a "ballot composition project" to recruit spoiler candidates, including Dan J. Sullivan, a retired teacher sharing the incumbent's name. Peltola's campaign and the DSCC denied recruiting candidates. The report comes days before the election and amid a DOJ lawsuit seeking to block certification of the results.
