Sullivan from the Senate race, ruling that disqualifying him based on “good-faith” grounds — which aren’t in state law — was unconstitutional. The challenger, a 70-year-old retired teacher, meets all legal requirements and denies trying to confuse voters. The state, backed by GOP groups, claimed the name duplication was a Democratic plot to disrupt the incumbent’s re-election. But the judge sided with the challenger, saying the election division ignored evidence and relied on subjective claims. With ballots due soon, the state plans to appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court — and this high-stakes race could reshape Senate control.
