Feds Surge Into Alaska Over Decoy Dan Scheme

If the New York Times has it right, somebody tried to beat Dan Sullivan by recruiting more Dan Sullivans, which is like a feed store swapping labels and hoping the cows can't read. The Times reports Mary Peltola's campaign and the DSCC allegedly helped recruit people with that name. Peltola's camp denies direct involvement, but a former campaign manager is quoted describing awareness of the effort. Now federal law enforcement is surging into Alaska: the US Attorney says a criminal investigation has run for months, Fox News reports at least 30 subpoenas within 24 hours, and the DOJ sued to preserve ballots. Ballots, it turns out, don't walk off on their own. President Trump wants Peltola to drop out and face prosecution, which I've seen settle fence disputes with less paperwork.
