Posteriormente, el Tribunal Supremo de Alaska confirmó esa decisión, permitiendo que el segundo Dan Sullivan apareciera en la boleta.

El alto tribunal también ordenó a la División de Elecciones que ajustara el diseño de la boleta para cumplir con la normativa estatal. Tras los fallos judiciales, autoridades estatales y federales iniciaron una investigación para determinar si la candidatura con nombre duplicado buscaba confundir a los votantes.
