Alaska Ballot Mystery Deepens | Anchorage News

Alaska’s governor secretly met with top election officials right after a court reinstated Dan J. Sullivan — a Petersburg resident with the same name as the incumbent senator — on the ballot. The state had initially tried to remove him, claiming he wasn’t acting in good faith, but the Alaska Supreme Court ruled against that, even questioning the removal of his party affiliation. Yet, ballots were printed without his party label, supposedly to “maximize differentiation,” sparking backlash from the Petersburg Dan Sullivan and raising alarms about transparency. Media outlets digging into the decision faced delays and redacted documents citing “deliberative process” exemptions — fueling speculation about hidden motives and deepening tensions over election integrity and public accountability in Alaska.
