Briefing by News4U · First published
US President Donald Trump has called for the removal and prosecution of two candidates in Alaska’s Senate race, accusing Democrats of a scheme to mislead voters, Al Jazeera reported. In Truth Social posts on Wednesday, he accused Democrat Mary Peltola and Daniel J Sullivan Jr of election fraud after a New York Times investigation into efforts linked to Peltola’s campaign to recruit candidates who could draw support from Republican Senator Dan Sullivan, including a retired teacher with the same name. The November 3 vote could help determine control of the US Senate. Trump called the alleged operation “Voter Fraud at the Highest Level”; the Times said ballot stacking is generally legal and has been used by both parties in Alaska. [1]
