WASHINGTON, June 27 (Reuters) – An Alaska judge has ruled that Dan J. Sullivan can join Republican U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan on \u200bthe state’s August 18 primary ballot, overturning a \u200cstate election official’s earlier decision to remove the challenger as an ineligible candidate.<\/div>\n
The unelected Sullivan, a former U.S. Forest Service worker and elementary \u200bschool teacher, was removed from the ballot last \u200bweek by Carol Beecher, director of the Alaska Division \u2060of Elections, after Republican Party officials complained that his \u200bcandidacy would mislead voters.<\/div>\n
Republicans including Senator Sullivan have also accused \u200bDemocrats of recruiting the challenger to cause confusion and aid Senate Democratic candidate Mary Peltola, a former congresswoman.<\/div>\n
In a late Friday ruling, Superior \u200bCourt Judge Thomas Matthews said the decision to remove the \u200bunelected Sullivan had been undertaken on “good-faith criteria” that are not found in \u200cthe \u2060Constitution or Alaska election laws. “Mr. Dan Sullivan is declared to be an eligible candidate,” the judge concluded.<\/div>\n
Local media reports said the Matthews ruling was expected to be appealed to \u200bthe Alaska Supreme \u200bCourt ahead \u2060of a Tuesday deadline for state election officials to begin printing ballots.<\/div>\n
All candidates, regardless of \u200bparty affiliation, appear on the ballot for the \u200bstate’s \u2060nonpartisan primary, with the four top vote-getters advancing to the November general election.<\/div>\n
Senator Sullivan’s campaign did not immediately respond to a \u2060Reuters \u200bquery seeking comment. Nor did the \u200bAlaska Democratic Party or the Peltola campaign. Dan J. Sullivan’s campaign was not \u200bavailable for comment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
