The fix was always in, and now it has a name. President Donald J. Trump has pointed directly at Senator Chuck Schumer and Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias as the architects of a brazen scheme to steal a U.S. Senate seat in Alaska using a decoy candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan. The plot, which reads like something out of a banana republic, involved combing voter rolls for anyone sharing the name of the sitting Republican Senator, then recruiting a retired schoolteacher to run as a spoiler in the ranked-choice election.
This is not a conspiracy theory. Alaska's own Division of Elections ruled in June that the decoy candidacy was filed "for the purpose of confusing or misleading voters." Yet a court put the fake Dan Sullivan back on the ballot anyway. The New York Times—hardly a bastion of MAGA sympathies—reported that aides tied to Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee were behind the recruitment. The goal was simple: split the conservative vote and counterfeit a Senate seat for Democrats.
The DOJ Fights Back After Judge Sides with the Scam
Federal Judge Sharon Gleason, an Obama appointee, tossed the Trump Justice Department's emergency motion to freeze certification, essentially giving a green light to the fraud. But the Trump DOJ did not blink. They appealed the ruling within hours. This is not a legal formality; it is a clear signal from the White House that the era of shrugging at election theft is over. The appeal puts every ranked-choice ballot at issue because thousands of Alaskans may have ranked the decoy Daniel J. Sullivan believing they were supporting the actual Republican incumbent.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is asking the question the establishment media refuses to touch: Was Chuck Schumer directly involved in this conspiracy to deny voters a fair election? Comer believes Peltola knew exactly what was happening. Subpoenas for text messages and communications are already in the hands of operatives, and the dragnet is tightening. Every single ballot that ranked the wrong Dan Sullivan must be set aside and examined. Every operative who scoured those voter rolls must answer under oath.
Where in the World is 'Decoy Dan'?
Independent reporter Nick Sortor spent thirty hours undercover in Petersburg, the small fishing town where Decoy Dan lives. He checked the house. He walked the streets. The result? The decoy has vanished. The retired schoolteacher recruited to undermine a sitting U.S. Senator is nowhere to be found. It is a fitting end for a rat in a scheme designed by the swamp's most notorious election lawyer, Marc Elias, the same man behind the Russia collusion hoax and the Steele Dossier.
This is the reality of the modern Democrat Party. They cannot win on policy, so they resort to tricks. They cannot beat Dan Sullivan at the ballot box, so they try to confuse voters with a counterfeit. The Alaska ballot scam is no longer a local accident. It is a national test of whether a decoy Democrat can steal a Senate seat while the legacy media looks the other way. Grand jury subpoenas are flying. The next filing out of the Trump White House will name how far up this goes. Patriots should be watching closely because the swamp is fighting dirty, but this time, the fight is being brought to them.
