DOJ pushes to isolate Alaska ballots in Peltola probe

The DOJ is pushing to isolate specific Alaska ballots as part of a criminal probe. This investigation follows reports from The New York Times regarding the presence of two candidates with the same name in a toss-up U.S. Senate race. The DOJ aims to determine if voters were confused, amid allegations that Democrats recruited a spoiler candidate to influence the outcome. These developments were detailed in a court filing submitted on Friday regarding candidate Mary Peltola.
