The Democratic Party has so few principles that it will whine about “voter suppression” one minute and then engage in it the next through the most asinine stunts designed to manipulate voters.Such is the case in Alaska, where the state’s top four primary has inspired Democrats to try to dupe voters out of their votes with an egregious strategy. The incumbent in Alaska’s Senate race is Republican Dan Sullivan. Democrats want to replace him with Mary Peltola. Joining those two in the top four is another “Republican” candidate: Dan Sullivan.
Yes, Democrats have recruited (or just been so conveniently gifted) a decoy Dan Sullivan, a retired school teacher with the same name as the incumbent Republican, to run in this race in an attempt to manipulate voters. A representative for decoy Dan Sullivan’s campaign has been featured in ads by a nonprofit group affiliated with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s PAC, proving that he has Democrat campaign staffers. He only recently registered as a Republican, ensuring the ballot would show both him and the real Dan Sullivan as Republican candidates.
I’m sorry, but as long as Democrats are pulling this crap they have no moral standing to complain about voter suppression. https://t.co/JEMHMa0Ppp— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) August 27, 2026
