Donald Trump has bad news for Alaska voters. The Senate ballot is an IQ test, and he has set the pass mark.

On Kansas City’s KCMO on Friday morning, asked about the second Dan Sullivan, Trump said, “I call him the fake Dan Sullivan.” Then he gave the entry requirement: “You need about 190 IQ to figure out the ballot.” Then he played the confused voter himself: “What does incumbent mean? I don’t know what incumbent means.” Per CBS News, the ballot lists the challenger first as “Sullivan, Daniel J. Jr.” and the senator under him as “Sullivan, Dan S.”, with “Registered Republican” and “Incumbent” printed next to his name.

The day before, at Joint Base Andrews, Trump told reporters he’s a high-IQ person. Then he predicted most people would be “inclined to vote for the Daniel.” The New York Times reported that people working with Mary Peltola’s campaign and the DSCC helped recruit the challenger. Both deny it. Trump calls it “a total fraud,” and his Justice Department has asked a judge to block certification if voter confusion affects the result.

Good news for the real Dan Sullivan, then: the word Trump says voters can’t decode is printed right next to his name.
