与现任阿拉斯加州参议员丹·沙利文同名的丹·沙利文表示，自己并非虚假候选人，也无意迷惑选民。这位来自阿拉斯加州彼得斯堡的教师因与现任议员同名引发了政治风波，并被指控作弊。

阿拉斯加一名高级选举官员裁定，一名与共和党现任议员丹·沙利文同名且同属共和党的联邦参议院候选人，无资格出现在8月该州的初选选票上。
选举部主任卡罗尔·比彻在周一发给挑战者沙利文的一封信中表示，她认定对方的参选声明“并非出于真诚参选联邦参议员的目的，而是为了迷惑、误导选民，从而破坏选举的公平性与中立性”。
她还表示，这位挑战者可以对这一裁定提起上诉。
记者随后试图联系挑战者沙利文征求评论，但未得到立即回复。他在周日的社交媒体帖子中称：“我符合参选资格，我参选是因为我对现任参议员12年的政绩不满，我认为我们需要做出改变。就这么简单。”

Dan Sullivan, who shares a name with the current Alaskan Senator Dan Sullivan, says that he is not a fake candidate or attempting to confuse voters. A teacher from Petersburg, Alaska, Sullivan’s shared name has sparked political drama and accusations of cheating.

A top Alaska election official has ruled that a US Senate candidate with the same name and party affiliation as Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan is ineligible to appear on the state’s primary ballot in August.
Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher, in a letter sent Monday to the challenger Sullivan, said she concluded that his declaration of candidacy “was not filed in order to declare an actual good-faith candidacy for the office of United States Senator, but was instead filed with a purpose to confuse or mislead and to thereby compromise the ballot’s fairness or neutrality.”
The challenger can appeal the ruling, she said.
A message seeking comment from Sullivan, the challenger, was not immediately returned. In a social media post Sunday, he said he “met the qualification and I entered this race because I am unhappy with the 12 year record of the current Senator and I feel we need a change. It’s that simple.”
