US Senate candidate with same name as incumbent Dan Sullivan ineligible for ballot, official rules

An Alaska election official ruled that a U.S. Senate candidate named Sullivan, who shares the same name and party as incumbent Dan Sullivan, is ineligible for the August primary ballot due to alleged intent to confuse voters. The challenger claims his candidacy is genuine and has denied allegations of coordination with another candidate, while Republicans and the lieutenant governor allege the run is a 'sham' to manipulate the race.
