Alaska's August ballot to include two Dan Sullivans in Senate race
TL;DR
A judge in Alaska ruled that incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan and a namesake challenger can both appear on the August primary ballot, reversing an earlier decision. Alaska's nonpartisan, top-four primary places all candidates on the same ballot, potentially shaping the race for the Senate seat and drawing scrutiny over ballot confusion and alleged Democratic recruitment of the challenger. Republicans say they will appeal to the state Supreme Court; Democrats deny involvement by Mary Peltola’s campaign.
