Alaska’s governor orders a probe into Peltola’s Senate campaign over spoiler candidate controversy
Mary Peltola, a Democrat, is running for Alaska's U.S. Senate seat against incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan. Her campaign recruited another person named Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. to run as a candidate, apparently to split votes against the incumbent. Republicans are criticizing this tactic. Some senators are also preparing for a potential floor fight over whether to accept the results of this Senate race.
