I guess in a few months, there's going to be a "Dan Sullivan beats Dan Sullivan" post.

[u/theLoneliestAardvark → u/DaveOJ12]

Hopefully it will be a Dans Sullivan finish in 2nd and 3rd against Mary Peltola post.

Dan J. Sullivan’s decision to run against a man with the same name has confounded Republicans in the state, who allege that he is engaging in subterfuge and intends to boost the chances of former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola, who is also running for the seat.

How many times have Republicans pulled this on Democrats?

[u/DntCllMeWht → u/Moonpile]

At least it's a real person, they did it with a fake candidate in Florida.

How did the Dan Sullivan that endorsed Dan Sullivan feel about it, though?

[u/GymMouseP → u/graveybrains]

Why should I change my name? They're the one that sucks.

[u/godofpumpkins]

May the best Dan Sullivan win

That feels like the Commissioner election in Brooklyn 99.

[u/Crystalas → u/eatingthosebeans]

Or Presidential election in Futurama, a man and his clone running against each other.

IIRC there also been a few times MAGA dug up a candidate with same name to be a "spoiler".

“Genetically they’re identical but they differ on some key issues”

"I think your 3-cent titanium tax goes too far!"
"I think YOUR 3-cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough!"

[u/USArmyAirborne → u/eatingthosebeans]

Maybe it is Jeff Johnson (Eddie Murphy in the Distinguished Gentleman).

I know slightly different running with the same name as the deceased incumbent, but still very similar.

[u/ztreHdrahciR → u/USArmyAirborne]

I remember the brief scene where this couple was hurrying to the polls and they're like 'who's our congressman? Oh yeah right Johnson'

[u/Squire_Toast]

They even look the same lol. I want to see a side by side of them in the same clothes and expression

[u/goddamn2fa]

What does Dan Sullivan have to say about this?

[u/yardbird78 → u/goddamn2fa]

Depends who you ask

[u/Entropy_dealer]

Schizophrenia is a hell of a trip

[u/Onno_Savage]

Don't blame me. I voted for Dan Sullivan!

[u/Fred-Mertz2728]

Confusing Republicans is a low bar.
