Alaska Senate Race Adds a Second Sullivan to the Ballot

Former teacher Dan J. Sullivan will join Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola on Alaska’s general-election ballot, in what could be a close race. Alaska’s all-party primary uses ranked-choice voting, so voters can rank both Sullivans, but confusion could matter in a tight result. The Dan J. Sullivan campaign is under a federal probe over whether it aimed to confuse voters; he says he registered as a Republican because the Alaska Independence Party no longer exists and declined to discuss involvement with a Democratic consultant.
