Alaska Judge Denies Peltola Access to Rejected Absentee Ballots6 publishers · first seen Sat, 07 Nov 2026 17:54 UTC · updated Thu, 12 Nov 2026 15:54 UTCAn Alaska judge ruled against Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola's request for a list of rejected absentee ballots, stating the demand was 'simply not reasonable' during the ongoing count. With 86% of votes counted, Peltola leads Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan by 1.6%, making it the only unresolved Senate race. The judge noted the Division of Elections is 'currently busy processing ballots' and lacks the capacity to generate the report. The race could still go to a ranked-choice tabulation if no candidate secures more than 50% of the vote, with certification expected on November 25.Content auto-generated. May contain inaccuracies.
