Alaska is defiantly moving forward with felony voter misconduct charges against nine American Samoan residents, despite a Supreme Court ruling that suggests they’re U.S. citizens by birthright.

2026/08/13

Alaska’s election chaos just got weirder with two Dansk-sounding candidates—incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan and “Petersburg Dan”—sparking a national political circus. Outside players are exploiting the name confusion to muddy the waters and waste votes, a tactic that’s been around since 2008 when Vic Vickers nearly derailed Ted Stevens.

Federal managers have shut down silver salmon fishing on the Kuskokwim River and its tributaries—matching a state closure—due to critically low returns, echoing the devastating 2022 run. With half the fish already past Bethel and no late-season rebound likely, officials say numbers are too low to open the river.

The Trump administration is racing against the clock to get the Supreme Court to fast-track a controversial mail-in voting executive order, after a Massachusetts judge blocked it nationwide just weeks before Election Day.
