Alaskans Wait For Results In Senate, Governor’s Races

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaskans have settled in to await more results for key races on the general election ballot that are not yet called. Those include a bitterly fought U.S. Senate campaign and an open seat for governor. A ballot measure seeking to repeal the state’s unique system of open primaries and ranked vote general elections is also too early to call. If no candidate wins more than 50% of first-choice votes, rankings will come into play. Alaska accepts ballots from overseas voters for up to 15 days after the election. That makes Nov. 18 the date targeted by state elections officials to tabulate the votes under the ranked vote system.
