The court found the division’s decision lacked legal basis and failed to properly examine the challenger’s case. With ballots due to print by Tuesday and the race for the Senate seat already tight, the case is headed to the Alaska Supreme Court. Both the incumbent and GOP claim national Democrats are behind the challenger, but Democrats and the campaign deny any coordination. The judge sided with the challenger, who simply wanted to run because he disagreed with the incumbent — and now, every vote and every candidate could tip the balance in this high-stakes, name-driven showdown.
