Republican governor Mike Dunleavy orders the inquiry into whether Mary Peltola’s campaign recruited candidates to draw votes from the Republican incumbent
In a statement posted to social media, Lisa Murkowski, the senior Republican senator from Alaska, condemned Mary Peltola’s effort to peel votes away from her opponent, Dan Sullivan, by recruiting a candidate into the race with the same name.
But she stopped well short of Donald Trump’s calls to disqualify Peltola from the ballot or to criminally investigate her.
