• Recruitment was an election manipulation scheme69%

  Supporters say Democratic operatives recruited Dan J. Sullivan as a namesake or spoiler candidate to confuse voters, divert votes from the Republican incumbent, and help Mary Peltola. They describe the alleged effort as cheating, election theft, or potentially unlawful if money or campaign involvement was used.

  • “Why don't people do the "Dan Sullivan" trick more often in elections? In case you missed it, a guy named "Dan S. Sullivan" is running for Alaska Senate race in order to deliberately confuse voters and draw votes away from "Dan J. Sullivan", the incumbent Senator. It won't work”

  • “.@DanielTurnerPTF to @JackPosobiec: "Of course some random guy named Dan Sullivan can run for the Senate—no one's disputing that—but what you can't do is you can't pay this guy ... You can't use your money illegally to create this fraud."”

  • “The New York Times says Democrats went looking for a second Dan Sullivan to put on Alaska's Senate ballot. I call that cheating. Bill says it's unethical, but cheating means breaking the rules. Who's right? @710knus”

• The candidate has a legal right to run12%

  Supporters say Dan J. Sullivan is legally entitled to appear on the ballot, regardless of allegations about recruitment. They argue that the ballot distinguishes the candidates and that blocking certification would be unjustified.

  • “Trump’s Justice Department sued Alaska to freeze its Senate results if Sen. Dan Sullivan loses, because voters supposedly can’t tell him from Dan J. Sullivan, a retired schoolteacher. The ballot literally says “incumbent.””

  • “there’s the Dan Sullivan that they’re running but also an independent named Dan J Sullivan Jr. of no relation that the courts have ruled legally allowed on the ballot with that significantly different name. So if anyone but him wins it’s rigged yada yada yada”

  • “Dear #MAGA and mainstream media. We do not care that @MaryPeltola’s campaign found another Dan Sullivan, who has every right to run btw. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #marypeltola”

• The lawsuit should protect the incumbent8%

  Supporters say certification should be blocked or the namesake candidate removed if votes for Dan J. Sullivan could have changed the result. They view the alleged confusion as serious enough to justify legal intervention.
