    This is actually pretty big:

    Anna Holmes and her husband contributed $500 to Dan J. Sullivan’s campaign and were surprised when FBI agents showed up Friday night to question them. The agents told the couple they were investigating “campaign finance” violations, Holmes said.

    They also asked the couple whether they had intended to contribute to Sen. Sullivan’s campaign.

    “I told the agent I would not have done that,” said Holmes.

    They’re going door to door asking people if they meant to donate money to the other Sullivan instead…

    That could very easily be considered intimidation considering all they’re saying about the guy. Make people worried they may be prosecuted, then offer the “unless you meant to give to our guy”.

    I thought that it was known or admitted that the Democratic party if not Peltola’s campaign did actually have a hand in Sullivan running. Is that not true? Whatever, like the article said, ballot stacking is an old trick and isn’t illegal.
