The outcome of Alaska’s Senate race between Republican Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola may not be settled until more than two weeks after Election Day, owing to the state’s vast size, the air transport of ballots from remote areas, and the use of 131 hand-counting centers. The state will continue accepting domestic mail ballots through November 13 and overseas ballots through November 18, with final results to be certified by November 25. The outcome could also take longer to determine because of the ranked-choice voting system if no candidate receives 50% in the first round. The controversy over another candidate named Dan Sullivan, who received 2.5% in the primary, has further intensified the dispute: Republicans accused him of confusing voters, while Peltola denied this. A federal judge rejected a Justice Department lawsuit seeking to block certification if Sullivan loses, but the department appealed the ruling. The state’s governor said certification could be suspended or amended if an investigation uncovers irregularities.
