华盛顿讯——阿拉斯加州无党派前置四名初选结果出炉后，该州11月大选的候选人名单中出现了边缘候选人，包括一名与现任议员同名的候选人，以及一名目前在纽约服刑20年的重刑犯。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻早前预测，共和党参议员丹·沙利文与前民主党众议员玛丽·佩尔托拉在8月阿拉斯加参议院选举中胜出，晋级大选。这场选举将成为决定明年参议院控制权的关键战役之一。截至9月1日所有选票清点完毕，共和党人丹尼尔·J·沙利文与民主党人大卫·莱斯利也成功晋级大选，此次选举将采用排序复选制决定结果。不过莱斯利已退出竞选，另一名共和党候选人杰拉尔德·海克斯因此获得参选资格。
与现任参议员同名同姓的挑战者丹尼尔·J·沙利文，于今年6月宣布参选，为这场本就激烈的选举增添了变数。此举引发了要求将其从选票中移除的呼声。当月，阿拉斯加一名选举官员以“蓄意干扰、刻意混淆阿拉斯加选民”为由，认定该挑战者不具备参选资格。但这位挑战者提起上诉，最终使得两位沙利文的名字都得以出现在选票上，这可能会对现任参议员的连任前景造成不利影响。
在阿拉斯加州唯一的众议院席位竞选中，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻上月预测共和党众议员尼克·贝吉奇已晋级大选。独立候选人比尔·希尔得票第二，紧随其后的是民主党人马特·舒尔茨与埃里克·哈夫纳。舒尔茨已于7月暂停竞选，因此不会出现在11月的选票上。
哈夫纳是一名已定罪的重刑犯，目前因向州官员发出威胁性通讯并认罪，正在纽约服20年刑期。他此前曾多次参与阿拉斯加及其他地区的选举：2024年阿拉斯加选举、2016年夏威夷众议院选举，以及2018年俄勒冈州的一场众议院选举。
阿拉斯加州于2020年投票修改选举制度，并于2022年首次实施。这套独特的选举制度废除了党派初选，旨在遏制政治极化。该州过去也曾出现过不同寻常的选举结果，比如2010年参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基在共和党初选中失利后，凭借写票竞选成功连任。
Alaska’s top 4 primary means a felon and 2 candidates with the same name will be on November ballot

Washington — Alaska’s House and Senate contests are set for November’s general election, after the results in the state’s nonpartisan top-four primary put fringe candidates on the ballot, including one who shares the same name as the incumbent and a felon serving a 20-year prison sentence in New York.
CBS News projected that GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan and former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola advanced to the general election in Alaska’s Senate race in August, as the frontrunners in the race that could be key to determining control of the Senate next year. With 100% of the vote counted on Sept. 1, Republican Daniel J. Sullivan and Democrat David Leslie also advanced to the general election, which will be decided by ranked-choice voting. Leslie withdrew from the race, elevating another GOP candidate, Gerald Heikes, to the ballot.
Daniel J. Sullivan, a challenger who shares the same first and last name with the senator, added a wrinkle to the already competitive race when the former teacher announced in June that he was challenging the sitting senator, prompting a push to remove him from the ballot. That month, an Alaska election official determined he was not eligible to appear on the ballot, citing a “determined effort and a deliberate attempt” to confuse Alaska voters. But the challenger appealed the decision, paving the way for both Sullivans’ names to appear, and potentially spelling trouble for the incumbent senator’s chances in November.
In the race for Alaska’s sole House seat, CBS News projected last month that GOP Rep. Nick Begich advanced to the general. Independent Bill Hill had the second-most votes, followed by Democrats Matt Schultz and Eric Hafner. Schultz suspended his campaign in July, so he will not be on the November ballot.
Hafner is a convicted felon currently serving out a 20-year prison sentence in New York, after he pleaded guilty to making threatening communications to state officials. He’s been on the ballot in Alaska before, in the 2024 cycle, along with a 2016 Hawaii House race and another House race in Oregon in 2018.
Alaska voted to change its election system in 2020, which was first implemented in 2022. The unique system moved the state away from party primaries in an attempt to stymie polarization. The state has also been home to unusual election outcomes in the past, like in 2010, when Sen. Lisa Murkowski won her reelection bid on a write-in campaign, after she had been defeated in the GOP primary.
