Candidate denies plot knowledge

Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola said she knew nothing about an alleged effort to recruit a second candidate named Dan Sullivan to the ballot, and denied trying to confuse voters. The New York Times reported that people linked to her campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee sought to recruit Dan J. Sullivan, an allegation both Peltola’s campaign and Sullivan deny. The Justice Department has issued subpoenas and amended a lawsuit over the matter, but no charges had been filed as of Friday; the closely watched race could help determine control of the Senate.
