President Trump said in a Truth Social post on October 28, 2026 that Mary Peltola should not be allowed to run in Alaska, calling the conduct he describes “ELECTION FRAUD.” The post is the President’s statement. It cites no court order, ballot decision or agency finding. Any change to a ballot would appear in Alaska court records or the state election office’s announcements, and the post points to neither.
What the President posted
The President’s Truth Social post was published on October 28, 2026, at 19:26 UTC. The core line reads: “In Alaska, I don’t think Mary Peltola, after perpetrating such a terrible scheme, should be allowed to run, because this is ELECTION FRAUD.”
The post goes further. It says Democrats “found a man named Dan Sullivan, put him on the Ballot, then lied to the Court, and said they didn’t know anything about it,” and calls that “perjury.” It ends by saying that neither Peltola nor “the FAKE Dan Sullivan” should be allowed to run.
Has Mary Peltola been barred from running?
The post does not say she has been barred. It is a call for action, not a ruling. It does not order any ballot change, and it names no court case, filing date or agency decision.
If you want to follow the question yourself, check the Alaska court records and the state election office’s announcements for any filing or decision that names Peltola or Sullivan.
What is still unverified
The words “election fraud,” “perjury” and “lied to the Court” are the President’s own. The post does not include a filing, transcript, witness account or ruling that backs them up. Until a court or election official acts on those claims, treat them as allegations from the post, not established findings.
The post also gives no date for the court statement it describes, so you cannot match it to a specific proceeding from the post alone.
What it means for voters
For Alaska voters, the practical stake is whether the names on their ballot stay the same. A statement like this matters if it leads to a filing, a hearing or a decision. Until then, it is a claim you can watch, not a change you have to plan around.
USPatriotNews.com’s view is that voters should decide with the facts in front of them.

Before you rely on this post
- Read the post itself, linked above, rather than a summary of it.
- Look for a court filing or election office notice that names Mary Peltola or Dan Sullivan.
- Check the date of any ballot decision against the October 28, 2026 post date.
