I heard that Alaska has many remote villages, Native Alaskan settlements, fishing villages, etc. from which it takes much time to get election results.

My question is, in the era of cell phones, internet, etc. are these remote places in Alaska not calling or e-mailing voting results in? Or are they not allowed to do so legally, but need to transport physical ballots to a central location to be counted?

Seems to me we should know on election night what the results are even in these remote locations, with just an official certification required later. Satellite communications could certainly be established just for purposes of transmitting election results, if election officials chose to do such a thing.

But what do I know???

All precincts are in. 100% of precincts are in, including all remote ones.

The issue is absentee ballots from all over Alaska.
