> The Justice Department reportedly issued subpoenas on Thursday amid claims that Mary Peltola’s campaign worked with party operatives to place a same-named challenger on the midterm ballot and confuse voters. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy also announced a criminal inquiry. Donald Trump had ordered the department to sue to block certification if Dan Sullivan loses; that case is pending.
