PETERSBURG, Alaska (AP) — In the sleepy Alaskan fishing community of Petersburg, nobody has seen Dan J. Sullivan for weeks. His rustic home stood dark a day after FBI agents paid a visit to friends who donated to his campaign to unseat the Republican senator with the same first and last name — Dan S. Sullivan. There was a sign in Dan J.’s front yard from the League of Women Voters: “Stand Up for Democracy: Vote 2026.” What may have begun as a ploy to boost Democrat Mary Peltola by confusing voters about her opponent has taken a serious turn as the Trump administration weighs criminal charges over a tactic known as “ballot stacking.”
