Alaska officials remove duplicate Dan Sullivan name from Senate ballot

Alaska bars second Dan Sullivan from Senate ballot after Republicans allege voter-confusion scheme

HuffPost — PoliticsAn Alaska election official ruled a second candidate named Dan Sullivan ineligible for the Senate primary ballot, ending a brief but jarring episode in which two men with the identical name appeared set to run simultaneously. Republicans had alleged the duplicate filing was a deliberate attempt to confuse voters and siphon support from incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan. A judge separately issued a formal bar on the challenger. The ruling leaves one Sullivan in the race.
