A recent court ruling in Alaska has allowed a man to appear on the primary ballot. The man shares the same name and party affiliation as US Senator Dan Sullivan.

A judge made this decision, overturning a previous ruling by the Division of Elections Director. The ruling was made by Superior Court Judge Thomas Matthews on Friday.

Further details on this story are available from KPRC 2 Houston, including the background on the case and the June 15 decision that was overturned.
