TL;DR

Sullivan of Petersburg is not eligible to run for the U.S. Senate after complaints alleging he misrepresented his party affiliation and possibly coordinated with Democrats; the decision isn’t final and he has a Thursday deadline to respond with a sworn affidavit before a final ruling is issued, as Republicans and the NRSC push to keep his name off the ballot amid concerns it could help Mary Peltola; the Aug. 18 primary looms.
