Alaska elections director, Carol Beecher, wrote that the “utterly unprecedented facts” in the case led her to conclude that Dan J Sullivan’s declaration of candidacy for US Senate “was not filed in order to declare an actual good-faith candidacy for the office of United States senator, but was instead filed with a purpose to confuse or mislead and to thereby compromise the ballot’s fairness or neutrality”.

My dude, if you disqualified candidates for their actions to confuse, mislead, and compromise election integrity, there would be no republicans left on the ballot.
