Alaska official weighing disqualification of candidate who shares name with Sen. Sullivan

Alaska’s Division of Elections signaled it may disqualify challenger Dan Sullivan from the August primary due to a name-and-party clash with incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan, giving him a deadline to submit more information after finding the preponderance of evidence did not support eligibility. The challenger says he had no coordination with the Peltola campaign and denies wrongdoing, while Lt. Gov. Dahlstrom has opened an investigation into his candidacy, raising questions about ballot access and voter confusion in a high-profile Senate race.
