## Resource

Senator Dan Sullivan accuses opponent Mary Peltola of orchestrating a ballot-rigging scheme by backing a lesser-known Dan Sullivan in Petersburg, aiming to confuse voters and steal the seat. Peltola denies any involvement, pledging to win through broad Alaskan support. National Republicans are demanding the Petersburg candidate’s removal, citing ties to a Democratic consultant and past donations, though no direct coordination has been proven. The race has turned into a fiery election drama with both sides blaming the other for undermining Alaska’s democracy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
