Key Points:
- Democrat Scott Colom's victory in Mississippi leaves the Alaska Senate race as the only remaining uncalled U.S. Senate election from the midterms.
- In Alaska, Democrat Mary Peltola leads incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan with 48.9% to 47.3% of the vote, with about 89.3% of ballots counted.
- Alaska uses ranked-choice voting, requiring a candidate to secure over 50% to win outright; if no candidate achieves this, additional rounds of counting will begin on November 18.
- This final Senate race will determine the exact margin of Democratic control in the Senate during President Donald Trump's last two years in office.
- Over 251,000 ballots have been counted in Alaska, with nearly all precincts reporting, but the final outcome is still pending due to the ranked-choice system.
