Well, well, well. Up yonder in the Great White North Decoy Dan Sullivan is now refusing to go under oath and testify that he just ran of his own accord as he has been claiming.
Only one reason not to agree to sworn testimony - he's lying.
Sullivan, a lifelong Democrat, ran as a Republican in an attempt to unseat Sen. Dan Sullivan, and since Alaska has ranked choice voting his name appears on the ballot along with the Real Dan Sullivan and their mutual Democrat opponent.
The New York Times, hardly a lover of Republicans, ran a story which cited no fewer than 12 sources, all of whom claimed there was a conscious plot by the campaign of Mary Peltola to find and recruit a Democrat named Dan Sullivan precisely to trick voters and split the vote, handing Peltola the victory. It is politics at it's nastiest.
The DOJ plans to sue to nullify the election results of the real Dan Sullivan loses.
Mary Peltola denies any knowledge of this, naturally.
According to the NY Times, a midwestern operative went around Alaska, deep into the backwoods towns, and bought beer for anyone named Dan Sullivan where they tried to recruit said fugaze Dan to "run" for the Senate. The faux Dan Sullivan did not even campaign; he just needed to have his name on the ballot.
Fake Sullivan is Daniel J. and the incumbent is Daniel S. Fake Sullivan was going around calling himself Daniel S. Sullivan and tried to get himself listed on the ballot that way, even though his middle initial is not S.
