A wrinkle that might matter in Alaska...
Gov. Dunleavy says he might not certify election if Peltola wins. But the favorite to replace him is the Dem nominee for governor. And Alaska has an unusually early handover of power: Dec. 7.
IE, there'd be nearly a month between the new governor taking office and the winner of the Senate race being sworn in.

This must be investigated by the New York Times and the the DOJ!
Massive midterm con in the super-close Nevada gov race — GOP is propping up third-party spoiler candidate Danielle Ford to siphon votes from surging Dem candidate, @AaronDFordNV. They’re falsely implying she’s endorsed by AOC in mailers and Snapchat ads.

"Richard Grayson" lives in Arizona 😂
And Mitch McConnell's super PAC spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to get him on Alaska's Senate primary ballot *this year* as a Green Party candidate, with the goal of peeling votes from Peltola. alaskapublic.org/news/politics/…

Jennifer sitting here trying to gaslight everyone by pretending that “Dan Sullivan” and “Dan Sullivan” are the same as “Mary Peltola” and “Richard Grayson.”
The literate among you may recognize that Mary is a different name than Richard, and that Jennifer is really bad at this.

I'll clarify on this thread, too, that Grayson was the one who paid the $100 be on Alaska's ballot.
He benefitted from Mitch McConnell's super PAC spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to boost his bid as a Green Party candidate, to try to peel votes from Dems on the ballot.

Update: Per MN SOS Steve Simon, 728,961 Minnesotans have already voted, up from 451,992 at the same point in 2022.
That’s an increase of 61% in early vote participation from the last midterm, statewide.
Minnesotans understand the stakes of this election and are excited to vote.

Peggy Flanagan's campaign shares some "facts from the ground" today:
*540,347 Minnesotans have already voted, breaking records for a midterm election.
*That’s up from 358,648 at the same point in 2022.
*Voters in Dem strongholds are turning out at record-high numbers.

Note: If this is your defense, beware... the people who pulled these 2020 Florida fake candidate schemes were criminally charged, convicted and jailed floodlightnews.org/ex-florida-sen…
I don't want to hear a fucking word about "Dan Sullivan" Alaska.
Republicans ran four (4) FAKE candidates in 2020 to cheat their way into maintaining power in Florida.
The Chair of the Florida GOP at the time was ringling bro kin, and current Nat'l GOP, Joe Gruters.

The Republican governor of Alaska knows what he's saying is nonsense.
Not only is ballot stacking legal (if icky), and not only do Republicans do it, but they're doing it in this cycle! In Alaska!
@Senate_Fund spent ~$500K to get a Green Party guy in Arizona to run in Alaska.

Today’s New York Times reporting reveals disturbing new evidence of an organized effort to manipulate Alaska’s elections by recruiting candidates—including one with the same name as an incumbent U.S. Senator—to deliberately confuse voters and misdirect their votes. The Alaska Division of Elections investigated these very concerns in June of this year. The new reporting substantially supports the Division’s findings.
I am therefore directing the Department of Public Safety to investigate whether this scheme violated Alaska’s laws and whether criminal charges or civil action are warranted. The evidence will determine what happens next.
Alaskans have a fundamental right to vote for the candidate they actually intend to support. Deliberately tricking voters into casting their ballots for someone else strikes at the integrity of our elections.
Anyone or any organization found to have broken the law must be held accountable.

@adamscochran A clarification on part of this thread.
Richard Grayson, the Arizona guy who was on Alaska's Senate primary ballot this year, emailed to point out Mitch McConnell's super PAC did not spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get him on the ballot.
He paid $100 to do it. But...

New: "It didn't work."
Republicans are starting to grapple with the failure of their Trump-focused midterm strategy as both parties battle over conservative-leaning voters who nonetheless dislike the president in the election's final days.

He’s canceling the IRL rallies to save himself the embarrassment of empty seats and hecklers.
RNC confirms that in addition to Kansas there will be no Iowa rally this weekend either because Republicans are “in a strong position” in those two states. The president will hold tele-rallies instead.

Shouting from the rooftops: Republicans are not aghast by the New York Times story, they are using it to lay the groundwork to challenge the results.
Q: If Peltola wins, should Republicans refuse to seat her in January?
TRUMP: It's hard to believe that she can even be allowed to run

Nonsense. As the Republican-packed Alaska Supreme Court concluded in June, this ballot is not stopping anyone from voting. alaskabeacon.com/2026/06/29/ala…
Conspiring to put a man with the SAME NAME as your opponent on the ballot - in order to deceive Alaskan voters who intend to vote for that opponent - is not merely "ballot stacking," and your friends are about to find out about 18 USC 241

A 2nd Dan Sullivan on Alaska's ballot is politics not criminality, & Alaska's Supreme Court already said he could stay on
Last week Trump's DOJ sued to stop AK from certifying the result, & now it's making a fed case 5 days before the election -TN

You've seen some of it in the last 24 hours, you'll see more in the next couple of days: the remaining undecideds are moving.
Elections don't end 48-46 (at least head-to-head ones don't)
And in wave years, as Haley Barbour likes to say, good gets better and bad gets worse.
Trump clearly knows it, too. He hates standing w losers and the spin about being able to do more w tele rallies gets him off the hook from another round of rallies with folks about to take Ls

In addition to what the GOP has done in Alaska, here's a little 🧵 for people just waking up to a tactic Republicans have deployed for many years ⬇️ ⬇️
To be clear - THIS cycle, @Senate_Fund spent nearly $500k to secure a Green Party candidate who lives in AZ to run in AK.
And in '24 AK GOP recruited a prisoner w/ no ties to AK and w/ a NY address to run against Peltola. The AK GOP took legal action to keep him on the ballot.

This the GOP Comptroller in Texas. He gave this same warning about turnout at a Trump rally in Lubbock earlier this week
Consider this my Travis letter: WE ARE LOSING TEXAS.
For the first time, Democrats are OUT-VOTING Republicans in early voting. That’s a nearly 600,000-vote swing against us since the last midterm. And 1.6 MILLION Republican primary voters still haven’t cast a ballot.
Texas is epublican Party in America. When the foundation breaks, it ALL falls apart. When we lose Texas, we lose the USA.
This is Texas. We bend a knee to no man and no government. Now get to the polls and prove it.
