现任参议员指责其竞争对手是民主党为迷惑初选选民安插的替身，但同为共和党人的丹·J·沙利文表示自己参选的意愿是真诚的。

选民能分辨两位同名候选人吗？
阿拉斯加选民将不得不做出分辨：该州最高法院周一裁定，现任参议员丹·S·沙利文（R-阿拉斯加州）与共和党候选人丹·J·沙利文均需纳入今年联邦参议院选举的选票。
现任参议员及其共和党同僚指责丹·J·沙利文是民主党为迷惑选民安插的替身。丹·J·沙利文已在文件与公开声明中为自己辩护，称自己参选并担任公职的意愿是真诚的。
沙利文参议员的发言人内特·亚当斯表示，竞选团队将依靠州选举部门尽可能清晰地区分两位候选人。该州公布的初选选票样本显示，现任议员将被标注为“沙利文，丹·S（注册共和党人） 现任”，另一位沙利文则被标注为“沙利文，小丹尼尔·J”。
理论上，共和党人仍可向美国最高法院提起上诉，要求将丹·J·沙利文从选票中移除，但选票将于周二付印，且联邦法律要求选票需在选举前45天准备就绪。阿拉斯加的初选将于8月18日举行。

Can voters differentiate between two candidates with the same name?
Alaskans will have to try after the state’s Supreme Court affirmed Monday that both Sen. Dan S. Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Republican candidate Dan J. Sullivan must be included on the ballot for U.S. Senate this year.
The incumbent senator and his fellow Republicans accuse Dan J. Sullivan of being a Democratic plant set up to confuse voters. Dan J. Sullivan has defended himself in documents and public statements, saying his desire to run and hold office is genuine.
Nate Adams, a spokesperson for Sen. Sullivan, said the campaign would rely on the state’s Division of Elections to list the two candidates as distinctly as possible. A sample primary ballot released by the state lists the incumbent as “Sullivan, Dan S. (Registered Republican) Incumbent” and the other Sullivan as “Sullivan, Daniel J. Jr.”
In theory, Republicans can continue appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to boot Dan J. Sullivan, but ballots are due to be printed Tuesday and are federally required to be ready 45 days before an election. The state’s primary elections are Aug. 18.
