GOP Asks FEC to Probe Peltola Campaign

Back home, if you want to beat a man at the sale barn, you bid higher. You don't hire a fella with his name. The National Republican Senatorial Committee wants the FEC to probe Mary Peltola's campaign and national Democrats over spoiler candidate Dan J. Sullivan, whom the complaint alleges was recruited because of his name to mislead Alaska voters. Semafor reports the complaint cites new New York Times reporting and names Gerald Heikes as another candidate the campaign allegedly tried to recruit. The Justice Department is looking into it too. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said "recruiting candidates to manipulate the field and influence voting outcomes is simply wrong." Subtle as a tractor in a henhouse. A campaign that needs a stranger's name on the ballot is all hat and no cattle.
