DOJ Probes 2nd Dan Sullivan Campaign With Grand Jury Subpoenas in Alaska Senate Race

Summary
Grand jury subpoenas have been issued in a Justice Department investigation into Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., the Alaska Senate candidate accused of running as a confusion candidate against incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan.
Alaska election officials had cited his initial filing as “Dan Sullivan” despite voter records listing Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., and noted he switched to the Republican Party just before entering the race.
The challenger still advanced because Alaska’s open primary sends the top four finishers to November, leaving both Dan Sullivans on the ranked-choice general election ballot alongside Democrat Mary Peltola.
About 109,000 ballots had been counted in the primary, but Alaska general-election turnout is typically far higher, meaning the name-confusion issue could remain a live factor through November.
