Alaskans wait for more votes in US Senate, governor’s races. Both could go to ranked tabulations

Alaska held its general election and is still waiting for complete results in two key races: a U.S. Senate seat and a gubernatorial race. The Senate outcome remains unclear as of Wednesday, despite Democrats winning control nationally in the midterm elections. Both of Alaska's races may require ranked-choice tabulation, a voting method that counts ballots differently than standard voting.
