I’ve read that the Alaska race may not be decided for two weeks yet. The Republican has an 8000 vote lead over the Democrat incumbent, but there are as many as 40,000 uncounted absentee ballots out, which could be enough to overcome that lead. The absentee ballots are heavily drawn from remote parts of Alaska, including Inuit villages. I could see the absentee ballots in Alaska breaking 25,000 to 15,000 in favor of the Democrat, which would change the outcome. Does anyone who knows Alaska have any better information on this race?

I wouldn't claim to be an expert on Alaska politics. but the night before the election, I recall hearing Karl Rove saying that a 3,000 or more vote margin for Sullivan before the remote and absentee votes are counted should be sufficient for him to win this thing. As it is, he has an 8,000+ vote margin, and I've heard reports that Republicans there are very confident. Remember that many military votes are probably remaining to be counted as well.
