Judge permits Sullivan namesake on ballot

A judge ruled that a man with the same name as U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan is eligible to run in Alaska's primary election, overturning a previous disqualification. The Division of Elections had disqualified him, citing concerns he sought to confuse voters, but the court found that decision was based on an improper "good faith" criteria. The case could impact the upcoming Senate race, with the potential for both candidates with the same name to appear on the ballot. The state plans to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court before ballots are printed.
