前安克雷奇市市长丹·沙利文日前在阿拉斯加这场非同寻常的同名参议员竞选阵营中站队，支持现任共和党参议员丹·S·沙利文，反对另一位名为丹·沙利文的候选人。第三位丹·沙利文的参选已经引发了法律诉讼，以及有人企图迷惑选民的指控。
丹·A·沙利文的介入为这场可能极具竞争性的选举再添变数。参议员丹·S·沙利文及其共和党盟友指责教师丹·J·沙利文以共和党候选人身份参选，意图从现任议员手中分流选票。丹·J·沙利文否认了这些指控，并表示自己是合法的温和派共和党挑战者。
“作为‘原版丹·沙利文’，我敦促阿拉斯加选民投票给丹·S·沙利文参议员。他为阿拉斯加做得非常出色，”这位前市长在社交媒体上写道。

共和党人试图通过法律程序将同样以共和党身份参选的丹·J·沙利文从选票上移除。他们指出，丹·J·沙利文曾与一名民主党背景的顾问合作，以此作为证据，证明他是自由派阴谋误导选民的一部分。
丹·J·沙利文为自己辩护称，他确实是一名温和派共和党人，对丹·S·沙利文在该州的履职表现存在真正的不满。
目前尚不清楚阿拉斯加境内有多少名为丹·沙利文的居民。
阿拉斯加拥有独特的选举制度，共和党人认为，这可能会在11月选民投票时进一步加剧混乱。

据美联社报道，丹·S·沙利文与民主党众议员玛丽·佩尔托拉已挺进大选，但目前尚不确定丹·J·沙利文能否跻身四人决赛名单，因为选票仍在统计中。

在共和党发起法律挑战后，阿拉斯加最高法院上月裁定，丹·J·沙利文可以继续留在选票上，此前州选举部门曾将其除名。据报道，目前联邦和州检察官正在调查他是否参与了迷惑选民的阴谋。
沙利文的竞选团队在福克斯新闻数字频道周一联系时未置评。

Alaska Senate race’s absurd name problem gets even harder to untangle

Republicans accuse teacher Dan J Sullivan of being a Democratic plant to confuse voters in the competitive 2026 contest

Fox News correspondent Matt Finn reports on the competitive Senate primaries in Alaska on ‘Special Report.’

Former Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan is taking sides in Alaska’s unusual same-name Senate fight, endorsing incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan over a third Dan Sullivan, whose candidacy has already triggered legal challenges and allegations of an effort to confuse voters.
The intervention from Dan A. Sullivan adds another twist to a potentially competitive race in which Sen. Dan S. Sullivan and his Republican allies have accused teacher Dan J. Sullivan of running as a GOP candidate to siphon votes from the incumbent. Dan J. Sullivan has denied those accusations and says he is a legitimate moderate Republican challenger.
“As the OG Dan Sullivan, I urge Alaskans to vote for Sen. Dan S. Sullivan. He’s been great for Alaska,” the former mayor wrote on social media.

Republicans have attempted to use legal mechanisms to remove Dan J. Sullivan, who is himself running as a Republican, from the ballot. They point to the fact that he has worked with a Democratic-aligned consultant as evidence that he is part of a liberal plot to mislead voters.
Dan J. Sullivan has defended himself from the accusations by arguing that he is genuinely a moderate Republican that has real dissatisfactions with Dan S. Sullivan’s representation of the state.
It is unclear how many Dan Sullivans live in Alaska.
Alaska has a unique electoral system, something Republicans have argued could further contribute to confusion when voters head to the polls in November.

The state holds a nonpartisan primary where the top four vote-getters advance to the general election regardless of their party affiliation. Once the four candidates are chosen and Election Day arrives, Alaskans use ranked-choice voting.
Under the system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. When their first choice is eliminated, their support passes to their next choice and so on until one candidate is victorious.
Advocates of the system argue that it gives voters greater control over who ultimately wins office as well as more options to choose from. Critics, meanwhile, argue the system could cause confusion in November.
Dan S. Sullivan and Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola have advanced to the general election, though it is unclear whether Dan J. Sullivan will join them as votes are still being counted, according to the Associated Press.

Following a Republican legal challenge, the Alaska Supreme Court held last month that Dan J. Sullivan could remain on the ballot after he was initially removed by the state’s Division of Elections. Now, federal and state prosecutors are reportedly investigating whether he is part of a conspiracy to confuse voters.
