> The Peltola campaign has repeatedly denied any involvement in his candidacy. But The Times has found, based on interviews and text messages, along with documents prepared for a potential lawsuit against the campaign, that not only did Ms. Peltola’s team work with people trying to recruit Mr. Sullivan to run for Senate, but the effort was much broader. The group worked to coax other would-be spoilers into the race, to dilute the incumbent’s support and help catapult the Democrat to victory.
If this is not election interference, get ready for some interesting future elections.
Imagine having multiple Donald Trumps or Hillary Clintons on the ballot with no reasonable way for an ordinary voter to differentiate between them.
