Senator Sullivan and his allies say the retiree is a fraud, trying to confuse voters and throw the race for the Democratic candidate, Mary Peltola.
Peltola and her party say they had nothing to do with the second Sullivan candidacy.
And the retired teacher insists he's a genuine candidate, running because he's unsatisfied with the incumbent who shares his name.
The state Supreme Court left it up to the Division of Elections to decide how the challenger's name will appear on the ballot.
