Alaska Court Rules Two Republican 'Dan Sullivans' Can Both Appear on Senate Primary Ballot
HuffPost — US News—The Alaska Supreme Court ruled that a man sharing the name and Republican party affiliation of incumbent U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan may appear on the Senate primary ballot, setting up a potentially confusing two-candidate race for voters. The court ruled on the specific question of whether the second Sullivan could lawfully qualify, finding no legal bar to his inclusion. Republicans warned the dual-name situation could split the vote and hand an advantage to opponents. Both names will appear on the primary ballot, though officials indicated the two entries may look slightly different to help distinguish them.
