Which best describes your opinion of Democratic strategists running a candidate with the same name as the GOP incumbent in Alaska’s Senate race?

Deceptive election manipulation (52%) – "People should be able to run with integrity and trust and win an election. Founding your win on deception of any kind makes voters less and less confident that their votes are taken seriously… instead we are treated like pawns in a political game."

• "I have no problem with it happening naturally, but when done intentionally, it is just like the lies and spin they all play and they should all be spanked. It isn't about winning at all cost, it is about representing your constituents. If you aren't in it for the right reason, then stay out."

"Just because something similar has been done before doesn't mean it is ethical. Our politicians should be held to a higher standard. Playing by the rules has been lost since Trump got into the race 10 years ago. Regardless of whether one agrees with his politics/policies, he has legitimized unethical campaigns. We should demand more from all our politicians. Because of this blatent ethical violation, Peltola should not be a leader of anything."

• "It’s cheating. Generally the people who live in Alaska live there because they have chosen their desired lifestyle. They vote how they vote to keep that lifestyle. Democrats realize they can’t win a fair fight so they cheat to try to win. Similar to watching a desperate football team trying trick plays against a superior team in an attempt to steal a win. But this trick is illegal and the players who did it should be disqualified and 'go to jail, go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.'"

"As a Democrat, I expect that the party and candidates hold themselves to a higher level of ethical behavior. I'm sickened by the Republicans and their pacs spreading vitriol and twisting the truth. This was also a bad move since the president continues to spread lies about election fraud."

Fair-play political gamesmanship (35%) – "Voters can read the labels of who is who. And if they are for a specific Dan, then they would know which one is him on the ballot sheet."

• "This is fair play politics, although dirty. I put this in the same category as gerrymandering. I wish more attention was on the billions of dollars being poured into campaigns unchecked and the use of AI to manipulate ads, which concerns me more than this does."

"Sadly, this is a very deceitful strategy, if you want to call it a strategy. This has been done before by both parties, so we shouldn't treat this as some shocking new tactic. Keep in mind that when the incumbent senator Dan Sullivan was running for his current seat several years ago, there was another Dan Sullivan, (the mayor of Anchorage) running for a statewide position. Alaskans had the common sense to discern the different candidates then, as I'm sure they do now. The Founding Fathers knew politics were spiteful, as many of them encountered that very spite. They knew the extreme lengths that people would go to obtain and hold power. I also think that they would be shocked to see the extreme lows that politics has spawned in our country today."

• "Same as what the Republicans did. Went to court to keep the guy in prison on the Democratic ticket even though he's never even been in Alaska. They've done it in other states before. Cannot call out the Democrats for doing the same thing."

Unsure/other (13%) – "Obviously, this issue isn't one that the constitution or current laws in place are equipped to deal with. We've been letting this kind of thing slide in the past, and have even let people who won because of naming tricks stay (try checking out the Bob Casey's who served in Pennsylvania). In legal terms, there's just about nothing we can do unless we change the laws. On a matter of ethics, it is reasonable to let them keep their name on the ballot and make note of which person is which. The problem here is that the Republicans are currently arguing that it's unfair practices when their party has also done the same - you can't claim wrongdoing on just the Democrats right now. Both parties need to own up and do something to either prevent name games in the future or agree that the name games are fine."
