By
Corinne Smith
Summary
An Anchorage judge heard oral arguments in a case about whether the Alaska Division of Elections can remove a candidate named Dan J. Sullivan (a retired teacher) from the U.S. Senate race because his name is nearly identical to incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan. The division made the unprecedented decision to remove the candidate, citing voter confusion. The court is expediting the case, with a decision expected Friday and potential appeals to the Alaska Supreme Court by Monday, ahead of a June 30 ballot printing deadline.
