The FBI on Friday began reaching out to donors of Dan J. Sullivan asking about potential deception, as federal authorities ramped up their investigation over the U.S. Senate candidate in Alaska who shares a name with the Republican incumbent.
An Anchorage-based FBI agent visited a boat dealership in Petersburg, a small fishing community accessible only by air or water where the candidate lives. The agent left a business card for Charles Flint, who told The Associated Press he has known Dan J. Sullivan for years as a respected teacher and musician.
The FBI visit came after federal officials confirmed the existence of a criminal probe over the candidate. The U.S. Department of Justice also pushed Friday for a court order to isolate certain Alaska ballots to investigate potential voter confusion.
Republicans: what’s the big deal if we impose in-person voting where you need an ID - it’s so very simple to get to the polls and have an ID, who could possibly object to that? { bats eyelashes innocently, adopts what they think is a super-cute pose }
Also Republicans: WHAT??? Voters are expected to read the ballot a little closer and know what “incumbent” means!? I don’t care that ranked-choice voting means that may make little difference! { Proceeds to make a federal case out of it }
