AnchorageTrump wants Peltola prosecuted over a second Dan Sullivan.
Text messages show Mary Peltola’s campaign discussed recruiting a namesake of Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan.
Alaska’s ranked-choice ballot lists four candidates, so a same-name rival can pull votes from the incumbent.
Peltola’s campaign and the second Sullivan, a retired schoolteacher, both deny any coordination.
Alaskans vote 3 November, and the US Justice Department has sued to block certifying a Peltola win.
