SplitFactual rigor 60/100
The Story
Incumbent Alaska GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan’s campaign account on X was temporarily suspended Friday night for purportedly violating the platform’s rules against inauthentic accounts, days after a report that Democrat operatives recruited a same-name challenger to confuse voters in Tuesday’s election. The account, @DanSullivan_AK, has since been restored.
