According to CBS News, the U.S. Department of Justice has issued a new wave of subpoenas regarding a criminal investigation into the Alaska Senate race. The probe focuses on alleged efforts by Democrats to recruit a candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan, whose name is identical to the incumbent Republican Senator, Dan Sullivan. DOJ officials stated there has been a significant increase in activity surrounding the case over the last 24 hours. The department also amended its civil lawsuit seeking to block certification of results if voter confusion occurs, labeling the situation a conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the electoral process. Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee have denied any connection to these efforts. Meanwhile, Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy has ordered a separate state investigation to determine if state laws were violated.
