*The Real Dan Sullivan's Account has been Reinstated*
Hearing a lot of chatter about the Democrat felon Eric Hafner (who is incarcerated in New York) being on the U.S. House ballot in Alaska, and how that makes the Decoy Dan Sullivan situation ok because it's just politics. The big difference is there is nothing at all to suggest he was recruited to run by anyone. He and his mother, Kitty Hafner, have a long history of running for federal offices in multiple states. Alaska's voting system (the top four in the primary advance to the general) creates a low barrier for someone like Hafner and Decoy Dan Sullivan to make it to the general election. Because there is no minimum percentage required to advance from the primary to the general, candidates who get very low percentages in the primary (sometimes as low as 1%) can make it to the general. Decoy Dan Sullivan finished third in the U.S. Senate primary with just 2.47%. The fourth place finisher, Democrat David Leslie, got 1.11%. He dropped out right before the withdrawal deadline, which moved up Republican Gerald Heikes, who got 1.05% in the primary.

Damn. Also, the Landmine has learned that the @ak_elections asked Treg Taylor to voluntarily suspend his campaign to avoid a court action. Talk about bizarre. #akleg https://t.co/zztoKI8qMt
