Department of Justice investigates electoral fraud in Alaska

The U.S. Justice Department is intensifying a criminal investigation into alleged election fraud involving a candidate with the same name as Republican Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska. New subpoenas have been issued as part of the inquiry, which aims to determine if election laws were violated. President Trump has called for the disqualification of Democratic candidate Mary Peltola, who is accused of encouraging the homonymous candidate to split votes. Governor Mike Dunleavy has ordered a state investigation, citing disturbing evidence of an organized effort to manipulate elections. The Justice Department has filed a complaint to prevent certification of the Senate race if Sullivan loses, amid concerns about election integrity.
