Episode Details

Two staffers for independent Senate candidate Dan Osborn secretly joined a rival party’s board last year to try to dissolve it — a move aimed at clearing the field for Osborn in his race against Senator Pete Ricketts. Though the effort failed after legal pushback and internal objections, the strategy appears to be resurfacing this year, with primary candidates Cindy Burbank and Mike Marvin accused of being Osborn-backed “plants” who won their races to help narrow the field. Both received funding from Osborn-linked PACs, raising alarms about election manipulation — even as Osborn denies any involvement, claiming he’s running independently to avoid party politics. The battle over ballot access and third-party interference is far from over.
