There is an interesting controversy in Alaska where an election official just disqualified a candidate over his name. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) is in what is considered a close race with Democratic former Rep. Mary Peltola. The seat is viewed as critical to the Democrats’ retaking power.The race was thrown into disarray when a retired teacher named Dan Sullivan, who had no connection to the GOP but did have connections to Democratic operatives, got on the ballot. The alleged dirty trick by Democratic and Peltola supporters would have split Sullivan’s vote through sheer confusion. Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher disqualified Dan J. Sullivan, putting an end to it this week.
The suspected dirty trick comes at a time when Democratic candidates and pundits are calling for winning back power “by any means necessary.”
Democrats should really consider what happens when we take a similar “by any means necessary” posture.
Because it’s coming.
That’s just another day at the office for “Democratic candidates and pundits.” See also, their 2015 championing of Donald Trump under the assumption he’d be the easiest GOP candidate for Hillary to defeat. Whoops.
