Alaska Senate race tightens as Peltola sues over ballot records

The Democratic campaign of Mary Peltola is suing Alaska's election authority over the state's ongoing Senate vote count, where only about 600 votes reportedly separate her from Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan. The lawsuit demands access to records on rejected ballots. Peltola's campaign seeks documents detailing which votes were rejected in Tuesday's election and why, arguing the information is needed to monitor the counting process. Alaska's election authority maintains these records are not public. The midterm vote count in Alaska remains ongoing days after the election, with the race too close to call. The legal challenge adds another layer of uncertainty to the already tight Senate contest.
