Sekulow

Logan Sekulow: On today's show, details emerge for a democratic scheme to double the Dan Sullivans on the ballot.
Guest (Male): Keeping you informed and engaged now more than ever. This is Seculo. We want to hear from you. Share and post your comments or call 1800 684 3110. And now your host, Logan Seculo.
Logan Sekulow: Welcome to Seculo. It is just a few days to the midterm elections. Will and I may go vote soon. We'll see. We've thought about it. We thought about voting.
Will Addison: Well, I mean, we only have a few days left to do that.
Logan Sekulow: Yeah, but I think we should do it.
Will Addison: Let's try.
Logan Sekulow: I think we should go out there, get in line, you know, do your part as they say. Yeah, the midterms are just a few days away, and a lot is being uncovered, including this comes out of Alaska. And this has been reported over the last few weeks is like, huh, this is a little suspicious. It seems like there are two Republicans running in Alaska with the same name, with Dan Sullivan. One of them, the candidate that everyone knows in the area, and one of them no one knew. It seems like in any area, he was an unknown entity. And thanks, I have to say, to an unlikely source, the New York Times, they did a little digging and found out that this candidate running again as a Republican is in his late 60s, a small town, never voted for President Trump. In fact, attended No Kings rally. And then the day before, having to run for this space, decided, man, maybe I'm a Republican now. And at the same time, they did a little digging to figure out where this possibly came from. And shocker, you'll never believe who could be scheming this. I mean, this is a world of ridiculous moment. And maybe we need to take a little clip over to the person who maybe needs to take a little accountability and maybe take them, uh, you know, put their put their money where their mouth is, if you will.
Will Addison: You know, for spending months denying that the campaign had anything to do with the fact that there was a man named Dan Sullivan running against the other Dan Sullivan, which in a ranked choice voting could only help the person not named Dan Sullivan, Mary Peltola, she denied it. They denied it. We have nothing to do with this. In fact, here's a bite from her at town hall in August talking about if you try to deceive voters, here's what she thinks about that.
Mary Peltola: It should be a criminal offense to lie or mislead the electorate. Yes. Yes, let's work for that.
Will Addison: Logan, it should be a criminal offense if you, uh, lie or deceive the electorate. Let's work towards that. But surprise, surprise, here's what the New York Times reported yesterday. And let's throw this up on the screen for folks. This says, operatives aligned with Alaska Senate Democrat nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates to peel votes from her Republican rival. The group worked to coax would be spoilers into the race to dilute the incumbent's support. And they've got the receipts, folks. We're going to go over that when we get back.
Logan Sekulow: Yeah. I mean, their receipts are just so blatant. Emails, text messages being like, I don't know, let's take a look. Let's try to find all the Dan Sullivans in the area. Maybe one of them will do this. Maybe we should consider creating a MAGA party that we can run against this spoiler. Wouldn't that be cool? That's a great idea. I mean, these are the kind of messages that were coming in. We're going to go through in detail the actual specific ones, but phone lines are open for you at 1800 684 3110. 1800 684 3110 again as this scandal rocks the election. Again, you may say in Alaska why is it important? We'll get into that. Also an update on the Elon Omar investigation and how the origins of this investigation may tie back all the way into the Obama administration and what they did or really what they decided not to do. Phone lines again are open for you. I want to hear from you 1800 684 3110 with election day just around the corner. We are discovering all of these ongoing election deceptions. We have responded by launching our protect the vote campaign, and it has had immediate impact. Right now, every gift is double. Donate today and continue your impact. We need your support at aclj.org/vote. Yesterday, I mean, we got so much to go through. Yesterday, we referred the town of Cheverly, Maryland to the DOJ after we uncovered 25% of its non-citizen of voter list in federal elections. We're prepared a major foyer request in New Jersey with hundreds already people hundreds of people have already voted illegally. In California, we're preparing a lawsuit again where they're not tracking who is legally voting. We're just scratching the surface with election day just days away. Every lawful vote deserves to count, and that 's why we're taking legal action to be a part of it today. Join the right or join the fight to protect the vote and have your gift double today at aclj.org/vote. We'll be right back.
Guest (Male): There are powers at play trying to manipulate our elections to guarantee they get the numbers they need to win no matter what.

Jay Sekulow: We've witnessed monumental legal victories from defending the 14th Amendment and protecting our sacred American right to vote, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and standing up for the religious liberty of our kids and seniors. But even with the many historic wins we've achieved, the battle is far from over. The attacks on our constitutionally protected rights persist. Countless unboard babies remain in jeopardy, and across the globe, innocent Christians are being targeted and killed across this country and around the world. This fight isn't just the ACLJ's. It's all of ours. It belongs to every American who wants to preserve the values and beliefs on which this nation was founded. None of the victories we 've won would have been possible without the unwavering support of ACLJ members and ACLJ champions. It's been an honor to fight for you all these years. Join us in fighting for freedom. Have your donation doubled at aclj.org/freedom.
Logan Sekulow: Phone lines are open for you at 1800 684 3110. 1800 684 3110. Have your voice heard on the air today. I want to kick off with a phone call. Let's go to Robert in Maryland on line one. Robert, go ahead.
Robert: Yeah, I wanted to ask you about the situation with the the Dan Sullivans out in the state of Alaska. Are one of or one or two of the candidates actually fraudulent? Or if not fraudulent, they are at least, as you said a little bit earlier, they were looking for different people, I guess, that were also named Dan Sullivan to dilute the vote. And if they're looking for anyone that's named Dan Sullivan to dilute the vote, why is that being done?
Logan Sekulow: Yeah, I think there's a pretty easy answers for a lot of this, Robert. Thanks for teeing us up here. I appreciate it.
Will Addison: That 's right. So because of the weird voting that they have in Alaska, the ranked choice voting, the primary featured a lot more candidates, and then it whittled down to four final candidates. You have the incumbent who is Dan S. Sullivan, who is the senator for Alaska right now. He's a Republican. He's an incumbent senator. You have Mary Peltola who is running against him.
Logan Sekulow: Very close race.
Will Addison: That's right. Congresswoman running against this to become the next senator. And because of ranked choice, you have other candidates that make this final ballot. And when people vote, they rank the the votes, and then it goes to what's called an instant runoff if someone doesn't get 50% and it keeps tabulating until someone gets to 50%.
Logan Sekulow: Right.
Will Addison: So what they did here is try to dilute the people voting for the real Dan Sullivan, the incumbent Dan Sullivan by what the New York Times is describing as a a coordinated effort between operatives from the her campaign as well as the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee. That's the national organization that our Democrat senators it's chaired by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand from New York. And what they do is they decide where to direct funds and help get more Democrats elected to office. And this says in summer of 2025, so last year, staffers started being asked to go through voter records and produce a list of Dan Sullivans across the state. And according to this report from the New York Times, not only did they talk to this Dan Sullivan who ultimately decided to run for the Senate seat, they talked to other Dan Sullivans. They also talked to people that weren't named Dan Sullivan that they could maybe put some effort behind to try and get other candidates that would harm the incumbent.
Logan Sekulow: Yeah, this was just having to be the Dan Sullivan that was willing to roll the dice and
Will Addison: No, this Dan Sullivan, he said, is it a legitimate candidate? He filed paperwork to run for Senate. He is on the ballot. He's a real human. He knows he is running, and he says, no, I'm I'm a legitimate candidate. Now, he lives in a place in Alaska. You can only get to by plane or boat. He when he originally filed, changed his registration to be a Republican to add more confusion the day before he filed to actually run for the office.
Logan Sekulow: After by the way, admittedly openly saying I never voted for the Republican president last three times and attended No Kings rallies.
Will Addison: Which I'm sure was a very small rally wherever he lived that took a plane or boat to get to. Not a lot of news coverage.
Logan Sekulow: A ferry ride. It was a ferry It was a ferry ride, really.
Will Addison: But then he also filed his name instead of Dan J. Sullivan.
Logan Sekulow: Which is his middle initial.
Will Addison: middle initial. He filed it to be the exact same as the incumbent. He then claimed that was a typo which, I mean, if you're using a keyboard, the S and the J are not remotely close to each other. But he still filed that all that. So there was already questions. And the New York Times sent a reporter in August. They reported on this and said, searching for answers from the man accused of sabotaging Alaska Senate race. And they have this line. It says, talking to Mr. Sullivan and reporting in Petersburg, I did not find case closing evidence of either a democratic plot or a fully independent campaign without ulterior motives. We took that to say like, okay, if the if the New York Times can't even claim this is on the up and up, something is fishy here. But then yesterday, this bombshell report where they go through months of of records, of text messages between the DSCC campaign operatives, a super pack that was supporting Mary Peltola that shows coordination in this where they were trying to find someone. This was their goal. It even goes on to talk about how a focus group was was being looked at. And that's what they do in in campaign staffers as well as as consultants. We'll get focus groups, see which messaging works. And it says that in a text message, someone said that it says Peltola advisors seem to make fun of voters while watching the focus group, surmising the participants would be susceptible to being tricked into voting for a ballot spoiler.
Logan Sekulow: I mean, the campaign
Will Addison: Do we have a scheme for you is the quote.
Logan Sekulow: That is the quote from one of the campaign consultants. Do we have a scheme for you? I mean, how insane to put that in text? And now it has been uncovered. And again, they said it was for their ballot strategy plan with a little smiley face emoji. Again, as this all unfolded, we now know though that people are voting and they're voting with these people on the ballot. So they got to be very careful right now. Though we're very excited that someone like the New York Times actually took the the initiative and the effort to put their journalistic integrity on the line and went and did this. It doesn't mean things are going to change between now and Tuesday. Now, could there be big ramifications for this? Yeah, and there should be. There should be massive ramifications for this kind of intentional election interference. But I actually want to take a call. James is calling from Alaska who said it was a bit confusing voting himself. So I think we should go ahead and take Can we take James? James calling from Alaska again. Watch on the Salem News Channel. James, go ahead.
James: Yeah, I I voted the other day and our ranked choice voting ballot measure was a different color on the ballot that wasn't on plain white like like the rest of the ballot that we we voted on. And it was hard to see and I had to step out of the ballot booth and ask where that measure was at to get it pointed out to me where it was at.
Logan Sekulow: Yeah, I mean, James, this is a different issue that we're all dealing with around the country. I think a lot of us have stepped into that polling place and wish they weren't there. Wish they were doing something else in that moment because of how uncomfortable sometimes let's just be honest how it feels insecure, feels unsafe. You got people lined up outside. You got the campaigns at the border. You have the people inside who are who are struggling because it's too not enough staff or or the staff is let's just be honest usually older group of people who just typically cannot move it forward quickly. There's a lot of this just uncomfortability that goes into voting that I think we need to spend a lot more time on in your local elections and in you know, the federal elections and the presidential elections. I know it's all handled via states, but there are many different times where and I was talking about this with a family member the other day where you do almost you don't regret voting. Obviously, we should be going in and voting. It's it's our duty. I think we need to do it. I I mean, it's very very important. But you see why people who are maybe not as politically inclined get turned off by the whole thing because when you have things like this happening in Alaska with the double Dan Sullivans or you just have the uncomfortability of of doing this or even the risk of certain things happening when you're in it it's a lot right now that we deal with this as American people. And the more we make this streamlined, the better it is. We mean even ties back to the issues we're having when they're trying to rewrite the way propositions are being held. And we been talking about that here at the ACLJ where when when things are written to be nefariously confusing. It's not dissimilar. It's not as silly sounding as a double Dan Sullivan. You know, let's go find another Dan Sullivan, but it is the core. It's the same problem. The core of the problem is you're talking about trying to get to mislead people to vote a certain direction.
Will Addison: And once again, that's why we are in our protect the vote campaign right now because of the work the ACLJ does to try and ensure free and fair elections in this country. But I think we should play this flashback from earlier in the week, Logan. Manu Raju talking to Hakeem Jeffries because the language could not be more pertinent to what we are talking about here. This is where he's saying there's no way Republicans can win unless they do something very specific. Let 's play bite 11 and then we'll talk about what that specific thing is.
Manu Raju: There must be something in the back of your mind that says that something could still go wrong on election night. Would you acknowledge that?
Hakeem Jeffries: Well, you have to assume as we've done from the very beginning that Republicans are going to try to come up with any diabolical scheme to prevent November 3rd from being a free and fair election.
Logan Sekulow: What do you mean by that?
Hakeem Jeffries: What kind of
Logan Sekulow: Well, we been planning this.
Will Addison: Yeah, but you tell me They are going to try and come up with some diabolical scheme to prevent November 3rd from being a free and fair election. Tell me. I mean, the the US attorney in Alaska is investigating this. The governor of Alaska is saying that they are investigating whether laws have been broken, whether campaign finance or or any other conspiracy laws. They're looking into that at this point because of how coordinated this effort was. But if you're going to sit there, Hakeem Jeffries, and go on on CNN and with a straight face talk about diabolical schemes, maybe you should talk to your colleagues, uh, in the other half of the bicameral Congress, as Logan likes when I say, and say, hey, maybe we should look into some of the diabolical schemes that are actually playing out here in the Democrats' house.
Logan Sekulow: Yeah, they're calling themselves schemes. It's like they're Batman 66. I mean, that's what it feels like. Oh, we're going to go find another Dan Sullivan who's going to run for mayor of Gotham. I mean, that is what it feels like. We're going to I mean, it's You know, who is the mayor, uh, you know, of Gotham?
Will Addison: The commissioner Gordon.
Logan Sekulow: Right, he's the police commissioner, Logan. I don't know. So maybe we could do that. We're going to find another commissioner We got another Gordon. We're going to find another Gordon put him on the ballot. All right, phone lines are open for you at 1800 684 3110 to get your voice heard on the air. Yeah, in in quote, do we have a scheme for you? Okay, again, straight out of Batman. We'll be right back with more on Seculo. We do want you to support the work of the ACLJ and our election integrity campaign right now. Protect the vote.

Logan Sekulow: Welcome back to Seculo. We do have a couple of lines still open. And we do want to continue to take phone calls. So call in at 1800 684 3110. Again, the work of the ACLJ continues during our campaign right now where every gift that you make to the organization is doubled right now with election days just days away. It's the protect the vote campaign. Have your donation double today. That's at aclj.org. And remember the ACLJ team is here to help as well. I want to take this call, Carrie, who is an ACLJ champion. Carrie, go ahead.
Carrie: Yes, hello, Logan. Thank you for taking my call and thank you, ACLJ. Um, I'm asking I moved back from the state of Montana back to Ohio. I'm currently living in Ohio, but I've literally been running from domestic terrorists in Glendive, Montana. But I think that voter fraud there has affected my ability to vote here in Ohio. Of course, I'm an American citizen. I'm an American citizen, but I have not wanted to change my driver's license yet before I get my own apartment.
Logan Sekulow: Yeah, Carrie, uh, just so I don't want to give all your private details out on on the radio here and and not through our show. Uh, here's what I'm going to suggest that you do cuz there is a great way the ACLJ team has right now. We've just launched it. It's at aclj.org/electionhotline. Election hotline. You go to that website right now and you submit if you have legal help and you need any question to do with it, they'll at least be able to guide you in the right direction on where you need to go. Of course, you should look up your local municipality and they can help you as well. But again, we've launched this. That's why I wanted to take your call actually pretty early here cuz like for for those who have questions, uh, regarding, you know, those kind of situations, questions that are are legal in nature even in terms of how to vote, where to vote. So you should go to aclj.org/electionhotline. And as you know, when you get connected with some of the ACLJ team is very fast. Not like you'll be waiting days and days and days. You know, if you get in today, I'm sure by the end of the week, you'll hear from somebody. So I encourage you to go to aclj.org/electionhotline, Carrie, because I know a lot of people you're not alone in having these questions over well, I moved here and I did this. And somebody again, some of your local areas, you just type in your name and address. You can find out on their website what it is. But, um, you know, I know with this one is a a different one, different issue here. And you may have what have, uh, some of the ACLJ there to help guide you along.
Will Addison: Well, and that's that's part of why we have the protect the vote drive this week leading up to the midterm election on next Tuesday is because we think that everyone who is eligible to vote in this country should be able to vote and they should have confidence that their vote will be counted and that it will be in a free and fair election. And that's when you see stories like this where you see one what we talked about yesterday and we'll play a video later about the town of Cheverly where there's all these questions about the integrity of the system. Right? It's like is are they just incompetent at running the system? Are they able to not get this together? Is there voter fraud? All these questions need to be answered. And it's the same thing in Alaska. And and you had CNN going on in in like this this long statement of like this is wild, but it's not illegal. Ah, yeah, that it's crazy they would do this, but not illegal. They kept saying that over and over and over again. Dana Bash and her guests were trying to hammer home to the viewers, don't worry, it's not illegal. Why are how confident are they it wasn't illegal? Because when you read the New York Times piece, it talks about coordinating with super packs, which the campaign's not supposed to do, the the DSCC coordinating with her campaign in the super pack, sending operatives that were using aliases and fake names, promises of of funding, of backing of individuals. There's a lot in the complex election laws that make up this country that could be illegal. There could be conspiracy. There could be fraud. Uh, there could be wire fraud if you're talking about transferring of money that was given for one purpose but going to something else. So why is CNN so quick to tell you it's not illegal when this whole thing is one, it is very novel like of hearing this entire scheme that they're talking about play out, but two, I don't know that we can be so certain that there isn't some sort of illegality here. That's why the US Department of Justice investigating as well as the state.
Logan Sekulow: It certainly stinks of election interference. I mean, and I think that there is something that could be done here. That's why the ACLJ team will get on it. But look, as I said, Tuesday is around the corner. That doesn't mean things are going to change between now and Tuesday. You know how quick the government works. You know how quick these states work at snail's pace. So while there could be consequences, the ACLJ team could jump into action, make sure there are consequences for something like this if there are laws that were broken. And certainly, like I said, it stinks of it. It feels like it should be. I think a lot of you probably feel that way that if you're going in there to intentionally get people to vote then do a way that is different than what they intended to when they walked in and you did it as the other candidate. You created this scheme, then you should be held responsible. Your campaign should be held responsible. But again, will that all unfold before Tuesday? Likely not. People are already voting in the area. So if you're in Alaska, you got to be really careful. And but you have to also stay very very engaged in what's going on. It's difficult to do. I understand. A lot of people just want to be able to tune out, turn off, just be done with what's happening in the world right now. But there is so much beyond just this these you know, what you walk into the ballot box, you may go, oh, that's a little confusing. Understand that there are bigger things at play. There are these schemes that are happening on both sides, by the way. Politics is a dirty dirty business, the worst. They say it's a blood sport. I would say it's beyond that. It is, uh, probably, you know, it it's an underbelly if you've ever been a part of it. I mean, it is something that can be very disturbing. So you have to be really really vigilant if you are the voter and you do care about this. And tell your friends, by the way, if you're in these areas, tell your friends to be very careful how and where they're voting and how they're doing it and making sure that they are voting for what they want cuz it can very quickly, uh, you know, push you in a direction where you get you know, foiled by one of these schemes. I mean, it it sounds like a comedy, you know, when I talk about it. And we get to the next segment. We're actually going to continue all the discussion, but also, uh, we're going to give you an update on the Elon Omar investigation cuz it's another one of these puzzles that unfolds. It's another one of these we get another piece and another piece and another piece and we start realizing that this has been going on for decades. And we're going to get to that when we get back. So if you are staying tuned for that, don't worry. In the next segment, we're going to discuss it while phone lines are still open. There's two lines open right now. Uh, you could fill them up at 1800 684 3110.
Will Addison: That's right. And once again, when we talk about these things, you talked about it being a blood sport or or worse and I mean, there's a reason why they call DC the swamp, right? It it's because the things like this you have CNN running cover for them saying it's not illegal. And right, like shouldn't we hold people to a higher standard?
Logan Sekulow: Right.
Will Addison: Uh, that that okay, the the only way that we're going to win so we can get a majority so we can stop the Trump administration isn't because we're going to run a really great campaign and people believe in our ideas. No, we're going to utilize the ranked choice system and try and confuse my constituents, my who I want to be my constituents as a candidate by giving them two names that are the same so they may accidentally rank one the other. And what does that do? It pushes me across the finish line cuz it dilutes the vote. Now, yes, there are schemes all over the place. There are always people trying to get other people to run to dilute the vote. I don't think we've ever seen one as blatant or as complex as what they went to the lengths here to get this other Dan Sullivan on the ballot. Uh, and when you look at this, you have to wonder
Logan Sekulow: It's creative.
Will Addison: if anything, it's an October surprise. And I think not knowing what's going to happen in Alaska now at this point it is a fair bet to say, yeah, this could have upended the entire race cuz now this is a national news story.
Logan Sekulow: It'll be very interesting to see how many people vote for the wrong Dan Sullivan or the secondary Dan Sullivan. I look forward to seeing the election results here. Hopefully not too many people are duped, but we'll see. We got a second half hour coming up. Join us online, aclj.org, YouTube, Rumble, Facebook. We're broadcasting live, archived wherever you get your podcast. That's from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. Eastern time.
