Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen: A friendship that surpassed the stage and screen

Juneau, Alaska — Democratic Alaska Senate candidate Mary Peltola told supporters Thursday she is "not interested in tricking voters," after two days of intense questions about how a man with the same first and last name as her Republican opponent ended up on the ballot. In a rally at the state capital of Juneau on Thursday, Peltola offered some of her fullest public remarks on the controversy, denying any connection to Daniel J. Sullivan.

With Election Day less than a week away, more than 44 million Americans have voted early, and candidates in closely watched midterm contests are making their final pitches.

The incident occurred Thursday afternoon near McMinnville Municipal Airport, according to the FAA.
