Alaska Senate candidate denies knowing of alleged plot to list a second Dan Sullivan on ballot

Republican incumbent Dan S. Sullivan, who is seeking re-election to the Senate in Alaska, and his allies have accused Democrats of trying to muddle voters' choices. They allege Democrats recruited a man named Dan J. Sullivan to also run in the race. The accusation centers on the possibility that voters could be confused by two candidates sharing nearly identical names. The report notes the claims are being made by Sullivan's camp and supporters. The Democrats' role in the alleged recruitment is presented as the central point of dispute.
