One of the most dismaying aspects of Tuesday’s election outcome was the astoundingly huge margin of victory achieved by even some of the most radical and downright crazy (yes, crazy) socialists who have ever run for office in this country. Though we’re already seeing the expected evidence of cheating in selected heavily-blue areas, where additional Democrat votes wouldn’t be conspicuous, wins on the left were sometimes by a staggering 20 or 30 percentage points, even in Texas. This is perplexing at a time when most Americans are of a vastly different mind over a number of key issues, at least as polls have shown.
Do THAT many voters really support filling the legislature with commie lunatics because they’re weary of Trump’s back-and-forth on Iran and aren’t happy with the current price of gas? It’s not as if the House and Senate got to run foreign policy.
So that part is mystifying, though pundits keep offering explanations. But even with such a blowout, some races were razor-close. That’s why we have to keep asking questions about Alaska, where the “Decoy Dan” scheme may actually have changed the outcome of their U.S. senatorial election.
As reported by The Alaska Story, absentee ballots sent by mail “can still arrive over the coming days” (!!), and “additional ballots” are yet to be counted. But here are the most recent results for that race, as of this writing early Thursday morning:
Mary Peltola (D) 48.2%
Dan S. Sullivan (R, incumbent) 47.73%
Gerald L. Heikes (also R) 2.25%
Dan J. Sullivan, Jr. (the fake one, also listed as R) 1.68%
Notice that if one adds the vote for the two Dan Sullivans together, the total is 49.41%, which is over a percentage point more of the vote than “winner” Peltola has received. Based on this count, if one presumes the votes that went to “Decoy Dan” had been intended for incumbent Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, the Republican incumbent should have won re-election. So at least right now — we’ll be updating — the scheme appears to have worked as planned, to elect Democrat candidate Peltola.
So now Peltola, who apparently knew of the ploy to find another Dan Sullivan to put on the ballot along with the Republican incumbent to confound GOP voters and split their vote between those two candidates, has won the election and is set to be sworn into the Senate this January, even while the Justice Department is looking into the “Decoy Dan” scheme.
Both Dan Sullivans were left in the dirt. Of course, this outcome was only important to one of the Dan Sullivans, the one who was actually running for that Senate seat, not the other one. The other Dan never intended to be a senator and will remain in his obscure little town, pleased that without lifting a finger, he could help his friend Mary win. Although now, he’s going to need a good attorney. And speaking of attorneys…
As you know — and surely were not surprised to hear — Democrat activist attorney Marc Elias, who has been involved in numerous schemes to game the system to his party’s benefit, was allegedly involved in the plot to deceive and defraud voters in Alaska. Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist commented on FOX News: “Marc Elias, one of the attorneys who’s involved in this scheme to defraud Alaskan voters, was also the attorney responsible for the Russia collusion lie. He was also responsible for quite a few shenanigans in the 2020 election dealing with ballot access or with the mass dissemination of tens of millions of mail-out ballots. We need to have confidence in our elections…Having people like Marc Elias attack democracy, attack our constitutional republic — just because they care about power — is a much bigger threat than people realize.”
Hemingway made the point that because we’re a self-governed country, “we need to have confidence in our elections.” Yes, we do absolutely need that, and let’s add that Democrats are looking at it backwards: they insist WE are the ones threatening democracy, simply for daring to call for honest and transparent elections, while in reality THEY are the ones chipping away at confidence in our elections with their increasingly shady tactics. They can try to shut us up about it, but we all know it’s going on, right in front of us.
For the sake of discussion at this moment, let’s forget about the overall election results — hey, wouldn’t we all like to forget those anyway? — and focus on the result just in Alaska, in that one race. The DOJ was already investigating the scheme to add another “Dan Sullivan” to the ballot just to muddy the waters and cause some confusion. They even had filed a motion to stop certification of the vote in that race. As we reported, a federal judge threw that out; big surprise.
Oh, and the “decoy” Dan Sullivan has apparently gone into hiding. No one seems to be able to locate him. Nick Sortor flew 22 hours to get to his house, hoping for an interview, and Decoy Dan was nowhere to be found.
