阿拉斯加州选举部裁定丹尼尔·J·沙利文不得出现在参议院初选选票上
Read, Watch or Listen
Juneau — On Monday the Alaska Division of Elections formally ruled that Daniel J. Sullivan cannot appear on the state's U.S. Senate primary ballot after finding his filing was not a good-faith candidacy and appeared intended to confuse voters by using a variant of incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan's name. This week officials — in letters from Elections Director Carol Beecher and a final determination noted by Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom — cited records showing the challenger recently changed voter registration to Republican, sought to use 'Dan Sullivan' and a matching middle initial, and referenced complaints from the state Republican Party and the NRSC; the decision excludes him from the ballot pending any appeal.

这项决定有利于现任参议员丹·沙利文和共和党组织，因为它移除了一项可能令人困惑的选票条目，保留了姓名识别优势，并简化了该党的初选策略。
挑战者丹尼尔·J·沙利文（Daniel J. Sullivan）以及寻求增加候选人选择的阿拉斯加州选民，在初选前立即被排除在选票之外，选择范围也随之缩小。
