Alaska Supreme Court Rules That Having Two Dan Sullivans Is Democracy, Not Confusion

The Alaska Supreme Court ruled that Dan J. Sullivan of Petersburg may appear on the general election ballot against incumbent U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan. The Division of Elections had previously disqualified the Petersburg candidate after Republican complaints that his candidacy was intended to deceive voters and benefit the senator's Democratic challenger. The court's decision reverses that disqualification. The two candidates share the same first and last name.
A court has decided that the best way to honor the democratic process is to let voters play 'Which Dan Sullivan?' in the privacy of the booth. Republicans argued the second Sullivan was a spoiler; the court ruled he's just a citizen with a very common name and uncommon timing. Our analysts confirm that ballot design is the only thing standing between an informed electorate and a very confused one.
