Sullivan, clearing the way for him to appear on the ballot — despite claims he was trying to confuse voters. The state’s election office had removed him in June, citing his similar name to incumbent Senator Dan S. Sullivan and alleging his campaign was fraudulent. But the judge found no sufficient evidence to support that claim and said the election division overstepped by creating its own ballot rules. The state is now appealing to the Alaska Supreme Court, which will hear arguments Monday — all while ballot printing deadlines loom. The judge noted existing rules already handle name confusion, like using middle initials, making the disqualification seem unnecessary and unfair.
