JUNEAU, Alaska — A top Alaska elections official has threatened to disqualify from the state’s August primary a U.S. Senate candidate who shares the same name and party affiliation as incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan. Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher in a letter to challenger Dan Sullivan said her office had received two complaints regarding his eligibility and determined “that the preponderance of evidence does not support your eligibility for the office of United States Senator.”
