Federal investigators are examining whether an Alaska Senate candidate was recruited to confuse voters by sharing a name with Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan, NBC News reports in its October 30 Nightly News broadcast.

Steve Patterson's report takes the inquiry to polling locations, speaking with Alaskans as voting proceeds. NBC says the FBI is sending additional agents to Alaska as part of the criminal investigation into the alleged scheme.

"Anyone who tries to illegally deceive voters and interfere with the election will answer for it," U.S. Attorney for Alaska Michael Heyman says in the report. The allegations remain the subject of an investigation, not a finding of guilt.

The episode, hosted by Tom Llamas, also follows Donald Trump's restored campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa. Gabe Gutierrez places the schedule changes within the closing stretch of the midterm campaign, including contested races in Michigan and Florida.

A different account of public service closes the broadcast. In the "Great Americans" segment, Llamas speaks with Alan Page, whose football career preceded his work as a lawyer and Minnesota Supreme Court justice. Footage shows Page meeting schoolchildren, while archival photographs recall his Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Page resists treating the ability to help others as something reserved for exceptional people. "We all have the power to lift others up, to make things better," he says.
