AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoAlaska Senate: Republican Dan Sullivan narrowly led Mary Peltola, 48.7% to 47.5%, in preliminary results, with thousands of ballots still uncounted. Ranked-choice tabulation is set for Nov. 18, so the winner may not be known for weeks. Other Races: Republican Nick Begich led independent Bill Hill in the U.S. House race. Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins led the governor’s race, but few precincts had reported. Ballot Measures: Repeal of Alaska’s open-primary and ranked-choice system was trailing, with a majority voting no. A measure affirming the existing citizenship requirement for voters appeared headed to passage. National Impact: Democrats won control of Congress, making Alaska’s Senate race a fight over the size of their majority. The contest also remains under federal scrutiny over allegations involving a same-name candidate; a judge dismissed the Justice Department’s bid to delay certification, and the department appealed.
