Fake Candidate Scheme Unveiled
The New York Times revealed that a staffer for Mary Peltola’s campaign was tasked with finding as many Dan Sullivans in Alaska as possible to add a second candidate to the ballot.

Impact on Election Integrity
The incident has sparked renewed concerns about election integrity, with voters emphasizing the importance of transparency and trust in the electoral process.
