The biggest threat to democracy in Alaska isn't named Dan Sullivan | Will Bunch

In Alaska, an FBI investigation into campaign donors has intensified scrutiny ahead of a high-profile, ranked-choice U.S. Senate race. The article describes how an FBI agent visited a fishing community near Petersburg to look into a $500 donation by local resident Charles Flint’s family to Republican Sen. Dan J. Sullivan’s opponent, independent candidate Dan J. Sullivan. It cites claims that the investigation is tied to a strategy promoted by the Trump administration to challenge the ballot presence of two similarly named candidates. The piece also notes a separate FBI outreach in Groton, Massachusetts, involving another donor. It argues the probe, timed just before Election Day, is more politically motivated than routine enforcement.
