Name one Alaska voter who is confused by the two Dan Sullivans

Donald Trump said Mary Peltola should face criminal prosecution and be removed from the ballot, which is election interference from the highest office in the land.

Taking the cue from his leader, Gov. Mike Dunleavy immediately called for a criminal investigation, which is election interference from the highest office in the state.

Trump and Dunleavy have no respect for Alaska voters and are illegally trying to prevent Peltola from beating Sen. Dan Sullivan.

The criminal investigations that Trump and Dunleavy have demanded are an attempt to sway voters with political posturing and deny Alaskans the chance to choose a senator without government misconduct.

There is no legal reason for a criminal investigation of Peltola. There is a political reason, which is to help Sullivan stay in the U.S. Senate.

As to their ranting and raving about voter confusion, there is none about the Sullivans.

I would like to find one voter in Alaska who is confused by the two Dan Sullivans and is unable to tell which is which on the ballot.

Trump says that a lot of people in Alaska are too dumb to know what the word incumbent means. The Republican Party propagandist has taken up the cause by whining that the word incumbent is not translated into all the Native languages that appear on the ballot.

Trump, Sullivan and the Republican Party are laying f the groundwork to claim election fraud if Peltola wins.

This confusion claim is all nonsense, as the state election lawyers have made clear in Trump’s frivolous lawsuit.

“To ensure that the appearance of the two Dan Sullivans on the ballot would not confuse voters, the Division designed the ballot to distinguish them as much as possible,” the state lawyers told the federal court.

The senator is clearly identified as the Sullivan who is now a U.S. Senator.

Not a single person has come forward to claim that the August primary ballot with the two Sullivans was so confusing that ballots were cast for the wrong Sullivan. The general election ballot, with only four names, is much simpler.

This is about finding voters who are the dumbest of the dumb. A job for Ali G. or Borat.

Or Kimberley A. Strassel, the Wasilla culture warrior for the Wall Street Journal, who sees Sullivan confusion spreading across the land.

Sullivan, Daniel J. Jr. “threatens to deny Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan re-election,” Strassel has once again cried in the WSJ.

She keeps making this claim while failing to explain that any ordinary fool can tell which is which.

But the Alaska ballot is so confusing, Strassel sighs, that Alaskans don’t know who they are voting for.

“I’ve spoken to numerous supporters of the senator who are deeply confused,” says Strassel.

Deeply confused by what? The price of gas? That they will vote for the first Sullivan on the ballot because they are too stupid to look at the next line? That they don’t know what incumbent means?

All of these imaginary voters that Strassel claims to have talked to are in the running to be crowned the Alaska Dumbbell of the Year, which would put them near the top of the national standings.

No one could possibly confuse the Dan Sullivans.
