  "summary": "The winner of the Alaska election holds the potential to decide whether Republicans retain their majority in the U.S. Senate or if Democrats take control of the chamber, according to CNBC.\n\nThe Department of Justice has issued dozens of subpoenas regarding allegations of ballot-stacking against Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola. The Hill reports that The New York Times alleged Peltola’s campaign was directly involved in recruiting a man with the same name as her opponent, Republican Senator Dan Sullivan, to run for the seat.\n\nDan Sullivan and his allies have accused Democrats of attempting to confuse voters by recruiting Dan J Sullivan to stand in the race, according to BBC World. CBS News reports that Peltola denies the allegations made by The New York Times.",
