It’s Newsweek….

Sham candidate Eric Hafner is on the ticket in Alaska representing the Alaska Dem Party. Only one problem. He’s in federal prison in NY for 20 years for threatening the use of an explosive device. ADP sued to get him off the ticket, Alaska Republican Party paid for his defense arguing he should remain on the ballot.

Why on earth do you think they would support a guy like that?

Thank you.

I did not know that.

Again, I do not care for ranked choice; it's ripe for abuse.

He never had a chance. Alaska is a weird state and not really red.

I'm not saying this was a concession speech, but a race like this has data on the ground and lots of analytics and they can tell pretty early how a race is going. If the EV and early voting data today was bad he knows he's lost already

This doesn't have to be true for the internal polling to tell him he's losing.

Hence, its existence.

Same as mail in voting.

Alaska always takes forever to count since it’s mostly mail in. We won’t get the final tally for a few days

It’s ranked choice voting

So if the other Dan Sullivan is siphoning, as long as #2 is the real Dan Sullivan, it makes no difference

If Republican voters aren’t smart enough to figure it out they don’t really have any business voting. It’s quite simple

You're missing the point. He doesn't need to raise any money. He just needs to be on the ballot to cause confusion. No one is voting for the fake Dan Sullivan on purpose, outside of his friends and family and maybe some contrarians.

To make that mistake you have to be literally retarded.

The "real" Dan Sullivan has a huge REPUBLICAN and INCUMBENT by his name and the other doesn't even have a party designation

I'm not making the claim that it will be successful. Just pointing out that the fundraising of the fake Dan Sullivan has nothing to do with the situation, or the motives. In fact, any fundraising and notoriety he receives is a detriment to their plan.

And I think you underestimate the amount of retarded people there are, both literally and figuratively. Especially in Alaska.

That's why I said there needs to be a deep dive investigation.

It doesn't HAVE to be true, but it's highly likely that if he's losing, it's the biggest reason, and we all know that. Those of us that use logic and context clues anyway.

I watched it. I agree with your take.
He sounded really upbeat and energetic. Smiling.
Seemed like the opposite of a concession speech.
