TL;DR Summary
Alaska’s U.S. Senate race features two candidates named Dan Sullivan—the incumbent Republican and a lesser-known Dan J. Sullivan—and analysts say ranked-choice voting can blunt vote-splitting, but many ballots still exhaust and won’t shift much unless the race is razor-thin or voters reliably rank backups; past elections show the effect is unpredictable, so the outcome hinges on voter education and turnout in a potentially pivotal contest.
