WASHINGTON — Alaska Senate hopeful Mary Peltola refrained from issuing an unequivocal denial of involvement in the effort to recruit another Dan Sullivan into the race — even as her campaign, which fired a lot of its original staff — distanced itself.
Instead, Peltola lashed out at the press for coverage of her team’s alleged involvement in recruiting Dan J. Sullivan, also known as “Decoy Dan,” into the Alaska Senate race to confuse incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan’s (R) voters.
“This is just another distraction. It’s another diversion. Every day it’s some new, you know, look over here moment. Not Dan Sullivan, registered Republican incumbent. Voted for this war. And I 14 times,” she raged at an event in Soldotna, captured by freelance reporter Matt Tunseth.
“Anybody who’s working in our best interest isn’t going to talk about the nonsense. This is all stuff to sell newspapers,” she added. “This is all stuff to get subscriptions. Nobody at the New York Times cares about affordability in Alaska.”
Peltola’s campaign has been rocked by a bombshell report in the New York Times about her team’s efforts to find a man with the same name as her rival to run.

I so hope and pray she loses. Then is indicted.

There is always the tried-and-true “I don’t recall.”
This is all so mean, I’m trying to save the world, like who cares if I yelled the N-word at my staff multiple times, I’m a lib, lib, lib! It’s not fraud if you have the right values...
Her former campaign manager apparently knew what was going on and refused to go along with some others who agreed with him.
They probably tried to stop the fraud, but got fired. The state should interview him first.
Third world garbage tactics.
And our side isn’t ok to do something like this either should that question come up.
This tactic could be used in about any election .
You could get someone to change their name and then get on a ballot.
Garbage tactic
Democrats are just plain evil, hateful, relentless and diabolical. Nothing is out of bounds for them, absolutely nothing at all.
