华盛顿特区，6月27日（路透社）——阿拉斯加一名法官裁定，丹·J·沙利文可以与现任共和党参议员丹·沙利文一同出现在该州8月18日的初选选票上，推翻了州选举官员此前将这位挑战者以不符合参选资格为由移除的决定。
这位并非现任议员的沙利文曾就职于美国林务局，是一名退休教师。上周，阿拉斯加选举部主任卡罗尔·比彻将其从选票中移除，原因是共和党官员抱怨其参选会误导选民。

包括现任参议员沙利文在内的共和党人还指控民主党招募这位挑战者，意图制造混乱，帮助民主党参议院候选人、前美国众议员玛丽·佩尔托拉。
阿拉斯加高等法院法官托马斯·马修斯在周五晚间的裁决中表示，移除这位挑战者沙利文的决定依据的是“善意标准”，但这一标准并未在宪法或阿拉斯加选举法中有所规定。“丹·沙利文先生被认定为符合参选资格的候选人，”法官在裁决中总结道。
当地媒体报道称，马修斯的这项裁决预计将被上诉至阿拉斯加最高法院，而州选举官员必须在周二的最后期限前开始印制选票。

该州所有党派的候选人都将出现在本次无党派初选的选票上，得票前四名的候选人将进入11月的大选。
佩尔托拉的发言人哈里·查尔德在一份声明中表示，佩尔托拉的团队并未参与任何一位沙利文的竞选活动。
现任参议员沙利文的竞选团队未立即回应路透社的置评请求。阿拉斯加民主党也未置评。丹·J·沙利文的竞选团队无法联系到以获取评论。

WASHINGTON, June 27 (Reuters) – An Alaska judge has ruled that Dan J. Sullivan can join Republican U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan on the state’s August 18 primary ballot, overturning a state election official’s earlier decision to remove the challenger as an ineligible candidate.
The unelected Sullivan, a former U.S. Forest Service worker and retired teacher, was removed from the ballot last week by Carol Beecher, director of the Alaska Division of Elections, after Republican Party officials complained that his candidacy would mislead voters.

Republicans, including Senator Sullivan, have also accused Democrats of recruiting the challenger to cause confusion and aid Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola, a former U.S. representative.
In a late Friday ruling, Superior Court Judge Thomas Matthews said the decision to remove the challenger Sullivan had been undertaken on “good-faith criteria” that are not found in the Constitution or Alaska election laws. “Mr. Dan Sullivan is declared to be an eligible candidate,” the judge concluded.
Local media reports said Matthews’ ruling was expected to be appealed to the Alaska Supreme Court ahead of a Tuesday deadline for state election officials to begin printing ballots.

All candidates, regardless of party affiliation, appear on the ballot for the state’s nonpartisan primary, with the four top vote-getters advancing to the November general election.
The Peltola campaign has no involvement on either Sullivan campaign, Peltola spokesperson Harry Child said in a statement.
Senator Sullivan’s campaign did not immediately respond to a Reuters query seeking comment. Nor did the Alaska Democratic Party. Dan J. Sullivan’s campaign was not available for comment.
