Trump claimed the Alaska Senate race was over, but with 26% of votes uncounted and Democrat Mary Peltola leading, the outcome remains uncertain. Ranked-choice voting data shows adding third-party votes won't necessarily help the incumbent.
President Donald Trump said votes for another candidate named Dan Sullivan should be credited to Dan Sullivan in Alaska. WHAM reported that Trump made the claim, while Breitbart said he called for the other candidate’s vote totals to be transferred. One America News Network also reported Trump included votes for Gerald Heikes in his remarks. The reports describe the race as close, but do not give vote totals or say whether election officials will act on Trump’s proposal.
