The Alaska Supreme Court ordered that Dan J. Sullivan be placed on the August primary ballot and remanded the question of how his name should be listed to the Alaska Division of Elections.The court affirmed a lower judge's finding that the Division had abused its discretion in removing the challenger and instructed officials to follow state ballot-design law rather than impose novel party notation.Chief Justice
Susan Carney criticized the removal as extreme, the Division proposed specific listing language the challenger's lawyer
Jeffrey Robinson opposes, and a 14-state friend-of-the-court brief has amplified attention in a competitive Senate race.
