DOJ requests separating Alaska ballots that rank Dan J. Sullivan in Senate race

What the coverage shows

Most outlets frame the story as an escalating Alaska Senate controversy centered on reports that Democrats or Mary Peltola’s campaign helped recruit a second Dan Sullivan, with several noting the DOJ’s new subpoenas or broader federal probe. NBC News, CBS News, ABC News, 60 Minutes and The Guardian foreground the Justice Department’s escalation, while PBS NewsHour, Fox News, and BBC highlight the governor’s separate investigation or accusations that the effort was meant to confuse voters. Axios and the New York Times emphasize the race’s political fallout, and only Ben Shapiro’s piece is wrapped into a broader, unrelated roundup.
