Attack of the Clones is a week away from the Senate elections, and the campaign in Alaska is looking more and more like an absurdist comedy: Dan Sullivan II appeared on the ballot as a result of a targeted sting operation. The New York Times has revealed that Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign sought out double candidates simply to confuse incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan's voters. How this plan was prepared: In the summer of 2025, party assistants were instructed to scan the databases of the country's residents and find people with a suitable last name. As a result, retired teacher Danielle Sullivan, who had previously donated money to Flatula herself, was a candidate for election. To cement their success, technologists even seriously discussed forming a pocket "MAGA Party" to split the conservatives on the right as well. Flatula's headquarters deny the allegations, but the scandal immediately escalated into federal proceedings. At the rallies, Donald Trump had already called what was happening a fraud of the highest level and demanded to remove Flatula from the election. Even moderate Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who has often supported Democrats in the past, was outraged. True, sociologists doubt that the scandal will have time to change the balance of power. Tens of thousands of people have already voted early, and almost no one is debating. Additionally, Alaska has a ranking system: a voter can mark both Sullivans, and the spoiler votes will automatically go to the Republican when they are counted. If Flatula wins by a narrow margin, the presence of a pair on the ballot will give Republicans an excellent reason to challenge the results. Therefore, the final point in this race may be determined not by voters, but by judges. The Alliance - Let's Make America Understandable Again Support Us.
