“Can’t we just be Mexico or Paraguay and have peace and quiet while things mostly go to hell?” — Matt Taibbi
A pro-Peltola political action committee (49th State PAC) paid $87,000 to an Ohio consulting company run by one Jerid Kurtz (operating under the name “Zane”) to compile a list of all the Dan Sullivans in Alaska and recruit one to run for Dan S. Sullivan’s Senate seat. They succeeded, finding Dan J., age 69, a retired US Forest Service employee and schoolteacher, in Petersburg, AK, who had never run for anything before. In late May 2026, he filed as a Senate candidate without a party label, then received about 2.5% in the top-four primary, and advanced to the general election ballot.
The Alt Dan Sullivan was assisted with all the filing paperwork by one Amber Lee, an Anchorage-based political consultant. A super PAC, Right for Alaska (meaning good for, not right wing, and based in Hudson, Wisconsin, by the way), has spent $1.15 million on Alt Dan, with $990,000 of that funneled in from the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington DC-based Lefty-left pass-through operation — a 501(c)(4), not required to disclose its dark money donors — that has handled hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years. The org is associated with Arabella Advisors, which is funded by George Soros’s Open Society grants.
Former campaign manager Rios had told The Times that, “Ms. Peltola was not directly involved in the Two Dan Sullivans project, but she was ‘definitely aware.’” Two days ago, just before publication of The Times report, Rios attempted to retract her story, declaring to the newspaper, “As discussed on our call earlier today, I am confirming that I have retracted all statements made regarding the 2026 Alaska Senate Race in connection with any article you may or may not be writing. I am not willing to be a source for any story in any capacity.” Nice try. Explain that to a grand jury.
The DOJ opened criminal and civil investigations in the Two Dan Sullivans matter last summer but bumped up its activities with the publication of The Times report. A grand jury was convened in August. On the criminal side, prosecutors have now issued thirty to forty grand jury subpoenas targeting Democratic officials, the Peltola campaign, and others linked to the Alt Dan recruitment effort. No one has been charged yet. At issue is whether this was a conspiracy to mislead voters or interfere with a fair election. Potential charges could include 18 U.S.C. §§ 241 and 242, conspiracy against rights / deprivation of rights under color of law and wire fraud.
On the civil side, a DOJ lawsuit filed October 23, seeks to block certification of the vote if Senator Dan S. Sullivan happens to lose the election in a way that could be attributed to voter confusion.
Yesterday, Governor Mike Dunleavy directed the Alaska Bureau of Investigation to determine whether the prank violated Alaska law and whether criminal charges or civil action are warranted. The governor said the state’s actions were based on “Alaskans’ right to vote for the candidate they actually intend to support” and described deliberately confusing voters as “striking at election integrity.” The Alaska Supreme Court previously ruled that Daniel J. Sullivan (Alt Dan) met the constitutional requirements to appear on the ballot and that officials could not exclude him based on alleged motives. How that happened remains a mystery.
From a public sentiment point of view, the Two Dan Sullivans case underscores how desperately filthy Democratic Party tactics are in the service of preserving their longstanding racketeering operations. As a practical matter, the outcome could affect which of the two parties gets control of the US Senate. A vote for Democratic Party candidates is a vote to wreck our country. Think hard on that when you go to the polls.

No dual Sullivan’s here in Oklahoma but there’s a hell of a lot of money coming into the Democrat governors race. If the claims in the ads are not outright damn lies They are significant economies with the truth
I swear it’s long past time some of these pols are swinging from lampposts. Add RCV to this Alaska and the real Dan Sullivan is screwed. And how much did they pay Alt-Dan!?
“Jeff Johnson...The Name You Know”
Kurtz, wasn’t that the name of the protagonist in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, and didn’t Marlon Brando play that role?
What happens if the alt Dan Sullivan wins?
What happens if the alt Dan Sullivan wins?
nothing cause they are using “Ranked Choice” voting and he has no path to winning period. NONE

Think about that if you are trying to destroy the country to get back at Trump because you don't like something he did.

I like the red-pilled Matt WAY better than Rolling Stone Matt...
All well and good——Decoy Dan “met” the state’s requirements. So how
many official documents did he falsify AFTER meeting the requirements?
FYI-—Running for Federal Office (U.S. Senate, or House)
<><>If you are running for federal office, you must file official registration documents with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) once you raise or spend more than $5,000:
<><>FEC Form 2 (Statement of Candidacy): Must be filed within 15 days of crossing the $5,000 threshold. This form officially declares your candidacy and names your principal campaign committee.
<><>FEC Form 1 (Statement of Organization): Must be filed by your campaign committee within 10 days after you designate them on Form 2. This form registers the campaign committee itself, names the mandatory committee treasurer, and lists your campaign’s bank depository.
<><>Federal candidates must file paperwork with individual state authorities (usually the Secretary of State) to actually get their name printed on the physical ballot.
<><>This typically includes a state-level Declaration of Intent / Notice of Candidacy and Nomination Petitions signed by a required number of registered voters.
Here he is in his own ignorant words.
Up until this election Dan Sullivan was an Indy Car racer to me.

They hate Trump because they fear him. They know he is planning to go after them for their crimes.
Ha, you’re the bookshelf! My fiction reading days are long, long ago.
Ha, ha...just a high-school type "prank." Just funnin' around, that's all.
