Alaska Senate Ballot Battle

A retired teacher named Dan Sullivan is facing a ballot disqualification in Alaska’s Senate primary after the state’s election director accused him of misleading voters — citing his recent party switch, campaign site resembling the incumbent senator’s, and ties to a Democratic consultant. Sullivan’s legal team argues the director overstepped by questioning his motives, which aren’t constitutionally or legally grounds for disqualification. Lawmakers are now weighing whether this sets a dangerous precedent, as the August 18 primary looms and ballots must be printed this weekend — with courts poised to decide if intent can bar someone from the ballot.
