## Resource

Dan Sullivan’s back on Alaska’s Senate ballot — but with a twist: running unaffiliated, even though he initially filed as a Republican. The state’s election division is stonewalling reporters and scrambling to fix ballot design, after initially removing him over concerns his campaign materials might confuse voters. The Supreme Court sided with Sullivan, ordering the division to list him properly under state law — but officials still haven’t cracked how to print his name just right. Sullivan’s lawyer says the law gives him the right to choose his party label — or none at all — and the court’s decision confirms that. Sullivan’s smiling, but staying quiet on the election division’s mess.
