@cbsnews: Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola denied any involvement in an alleged effort to confuse voters by recruiting a candidate with the same name as her Republican opponent, Sen. Dan Sullivan. Speaking at a rally in Juneau on Thursday, Peltola said she "knew nothing about" the other candidate, Daniel J. Sullivan, and insisted she was "not interested in tricking voters." The controversy erupted after a New York Times report linked operatives aligned with Peltola's campaign to the recruitment of the second Sullivan. The Justice Department has since launched a criminal investigation and filed a lawsuit seeking to potentially block certification of the election results if voter confusion contributes to a loss for the Republican incumbent.
