The Department of Justice is widening its investigation into an apparent Senate election scam in Alaska.

There, those pushing the campaign of Democrat Mary Peltola are suspected of recruiting a “decoy” Dan Sullivan who wound up on the election ballot along the Republican candidate Dan Sullivan.

A report from the Daily Mail now confirms that “dozens” of letters have been dispatched informing Democrats they are targets of an expanding investigation.

“Around 20 letters were sent on Election Day Tuesday to a number of top Democrats and attorneys, insiders told The New York Times,” the report said.

The accusations are that the Democrats recruited the same-name Dan to confuse voters and help Democrat Peltola.

Sources reported that the letters warn of allegations involving donor fraud and conspiracy.

Peltola has claimed she’s not interested in tricking voters.

A federal judge days ago dismissed a legal move aimed to preemptively blocking certification of the election results, a lower court decision that already is on appeal.

The DOJ has charged that the second “Sullivan” in the campaign is the Democrats’ attempt to “dupe” Alaska voters.

One of those apparently getting the notification was longtime anti-Trump activist Marc Elias, who has been part of multiple lawfare schemes targeting Trump.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, meanwhile, has separately received a grand jury subpoena, a law enforcement source told CBS News.

Elias’ pro-Democrat activism has been so extreme in this year’s election he threatened defamation complaints against reporters who asked questions about a Democrat nominee’s health.
