Picture: Fox News

Vice President JD Vance has called for an investigation into an alleged Democratic ballot scheme, Fox News reported. Speaking to Jesse Watters during a televised town hall event, Vance stated that if the practice is not illegal, it should be. [1][2]

The comments follow controversy surrounding the campaign of Alaska Democratic candidate Mary Peltola. As FTMQ News reported earlier, Peltola's campaign faced intense criticism after reports from the New York Times alleged that it recruited a second candidate named Dan Sullivan to confuse voters. [3]

The alleged scheme drew strong condemnation from officials. Senator Dan Sullivan branded the effort a high level scandal, while the governor of Alaska ordered an investigation into the Democratic campaign, as FTMQ News reported earlier. The Department of Justice also requested expedited discovery in its related Alaska Senate lawsuit. [3]

Vance serves as the 50th vice president of the United States. A member of the Republican Party, he previously represented Ohio in the United States Senate from 2023 to 2025. [2]
