Judge approves second Dan Sullivan for Alaska Senate

A judge has allowed Dan J. Sullivan, a man with the same name and party affiliation as U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan, to appear on Alaska's August primary ballot after the division of elections initially disqualified him. The court ruled that the state's "good-faith" standard used to remove his candidacy was not lawful and that he meets the constitutional requirements for Senate eligibility. The decision reverses an earlier ruling that questioned whether his candidacy was intended to confuse voters, and the case remains eligible for appeal.
