Lem Vibe Bandit said...: He didn't look for 'Republican' under the name?
I'm skeptical.; 11/3/26, 10:20 AM
Chuck said...: That man is Greg T. Martone, of AT Printing, Inc. His firm did more than $37,000 worth of printing for the (real) Senator Dan Sullivan campaign.

This gets 12 fakes out of 10.; 11/3/26, 10:21 AM
RCOCEAN II said...: Vote for me, Dan Sullivan
No, Vote for me, I'm Dan Sullivan

Will the real Dan Sullivan please stand up?; 11/3/26, 10:23 AM
Lazarus said...: I kept getting political calls and texts from Alaska because apparently the person who had my phone number before lived there. It's annoying because the four hour time difference meant that after dinner calls were coming at bedtime. I didn't check to see if I'm registered to vote up there too.; 11/3/26, 10:23 AM
Chuck said...: Oh and by the way; this stupid and disgraceful fake is brought to you by Overton News, the same garbage outlet that supplied less than two minutes of the 16 minute interview of Haley Stevens by Anderson Cooper. The clip that Trump fanboy Byron York liked, and that Althouse turned into a blog post.; 11/3/26, 10:24 AM
RCOCEAN II said...: In other news, election centers in Mariposa county in Arizona is having "power outages". Right on cue.

And Fulton County GA just admitted that 300,000 votes weren't signed off on. Despite claiming they were for 6 years, and it being required by state law. But Gosh, things happen. Y'know?; 11/3/26, 10:25 AM
Lazarus said...: We had so many ballot questions that two ballots were required. I got so into filling out the little ovals that I voted "yes" on a question that I wanted to vote "no" on, so if my taxes go up I have only myself to blame.

But there are intentional shenanigans by the state, too. The referendum to repeal the new 40 page gun law required a "no" vote to the measure, rather than the usual "yes."; 11/3/26, 10:27 AM
RCOCEAN II said...: Byron York just tweeted out a extract from Peggy noonan. Seems Peggy wants a mid-term wipeout so the Republican party can get back to "normal".

Noonan seemed so much happier under Biden. Now, there was a "true conservative".; 11/3/26, 10:27 AM
RCOCEAN II said...: BTW, this is what the Never-Trumpers like goldberg and bartlett at the WSJ were hoping for in 2016. Trump would be wiped out and take the Republican house/senate with him. And then with MAGA destroyed, the "moderates" and "True Conservatives" would take their rightful place as the heads of the party. Mitt Romney 2020 - here we come!

But y'know that didn't happen. Sads.; 11/3/26, 10:29 AM
Mark said...: He couldn't read Incumbent and Republican next to the name and figure it out.

Based on the ballot I saw, people claiming this probably shouldn't vote if their reading comprehension cannot handle this.; 11/3/26, 10:31 AM
RCOCEAN II said...: You can only valid ballot measures when you have (1) fair and honest elections (2) a non-partisan judiciary and (3) and alert and homogeneous population.

California has none of these, and should just get rid of ballot measures.; 11/3/26, 10:31 AM
Maynard said...: Chuck talking about “stupid and disgraceful fakes” is quite a gem.; 11/3/26, 10:36 AM
Aggie said...: DAN SULLIVAN (INCUMBENT) vs DAN SULLIVAN (Presumed Missing).

The way I heard it, he 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 which one he voted for. Did I hear something different.

Anyway: DAN SULLIVAN (INCUMBENT) vs DAN SULLIVAN (Presumed Missing).

I see this has triggered all the right LLR people.; 11/3/26, 10:37 AM
Maynard said...: Mark,

It sounds like you are talking about the base of the Democrat party.; 11/3/26, 10:37 AM
D.D. Driver said...: He didn't look for 'Republican' under the name?
I'm skeptical.

Is it just me or does he look a little like Jussie Smollet?; 11/3/26, 10:39 AM
Lazarus said...: Rockefeller Republicans are gone, so are other Manhattan Republicans like Noonan. There's nothing left there to build a party on, but in foreign policy MAGA/America First does look more and more like Dick Cheney neoconservatism. Trump or no Trump, that won't change.; 11/3/26, 10:40 AM
Peachy+2 said...: Alaska voters are notorious stupid. So the Dem's trick might work.; 11/3/26, 10:42 AM
Rabel said...: Y'all don't realize or refuse to realize that a lot of people are not news junkies or perpetual onliners like everyone here and have no idea about the race or the names and walk into the voting booth cold.

Those people are the target of the scam.

Which is a larger percentage - fully uninformed voters or voters who are unable to get a photo id.

It's the first by far. I know a few.; 11/3/26, 10:56 AM
Peachy+2 said...: Rabel - True. That's the point of the scam. To snare those who barely pay attention.
Alaska keeps electing Murkowski - the brat daughter who scams her way in with rank choice.; 11/3/26, 10:58 AM
DINKY DAU 45 said...: WE LOVE THE UNEDUCATED.....brought to you by the MAGA king. :( fake news!; 11/3/26, 11:04 AM
loudogblog said...: He's a better actor than most when it comes to performative politics. I really don't see how someone could not know that there were two Dan Sullivans on the ballot. First, there's been all this media coverage about it and second, you have to vote for all the candidates by rank. Here's my first choice, here's my second choice, here's my third choice, ect.; 11/3/26, 11:07 AM

"Will the real Dan Sullivan please stand up?"

I'm Dan Sullivan, yes, I'm the real Sullivan
All you other Dan Sullivans are just imitating
So won't the real Dan Sullivan please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
'Cause I'm Dan Sullivan, yes, I'm the real Sullivan
All you other Dan Sullivans are just imitating
So won't the real Dan Sullivan please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?; 11/3/26, 11:16 AM
wildswan said...: Massive turnout in this small NH town. A lot of older people - canes, leg casts, walkers. These voters aren't stupid but there was no way to know how they were voting. Complete courtesy on all sides.; 11/3/26, 11:28 AM
Greg The Class Traitor said...: Well, the thing we know with 100% certainty is that the Mary Peltola campaign put a lot of effort and $$$ into finding, recruiting, and keeping on the ballot their fake Dan Sullivan in the sole expectation that this would happen.

So it seems rather delusional to now pretend that anyone who say it did happen is faking it.

Remember the "butterfly ballot"? In that case it was made by Dems, approved by Dems, and then Dems manufactured claims that it disenfranchised voters.

The fake Dan Sullivan was manufactured by Dems and approved by Dems. But this time republican voters are the targets.

So hell yes the Dems should be held to account; 11/3/26, 11:46 AM

Based on the ballot I saw, people claiming this probably shouldn't vote if their reading comprehension cannot handle this."

I'm hearing a lot of this lately. People acting like it's all a big yawner. It's basically an IQ test to vote, so they say. It's a funny thing when you think of all the arguments that have been bandied about against voter ID laws. "IT'S JIM CROWE 2.0 ON STEROIDS!"

I've also been reliably informed that literacy tests were one of the worst things ever done by Southern states to disenfranchise minority voters.

But an obvious trickster spoiler candidate that targets a Republican candidate is a-okay. Guess the next move for 2028 is to find randos named Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom or AOC and get them ready for the ballot.; 11/3/26, 12:17 PM
