Trump warns Alaska voters may misread incumbent label on RCV ballot
Donald Trump expressed concern that Alaska voters could be confused by the incumbent designation on the state's ranked-choice ballot, where two candidates share the name Daniel Sullivan.
Trump said voters might not understand the meaning of the incumbent tag on Alaska's November 3 ballot. The state’s ranked-choice voting system will list incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan as a Republican incumbent, while a challenger will appear as Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. Trump has repeatedly criticized Alaska’s voting method and highlighted the potential for confusion caused by the similar names.
