JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Republican Dan Sullivan won Alaska's U.S. Senate race, defeating first-term incumbent Democrat Mark Begich.
Sullivan led Begich by about 8,100 votes on Election Night last week and held a comparable edge after election workers had counted about 20,000 absentee, early-voted and questioned ballots late Tuesday. Thousands more ballots remained to be counted, but the results indicated that Begich could not overcome Sullivan's lead.
The Alaska seat was initially considered key to the Republicans' hopes of taking control of the U.S. Senate, but that goal was accomplished before the Alaska race was decided.
Sullivan, in a statement, said he was humbled and sounded a note of inclusion. While it was a hard-fought race, moving forward "I want to emphasize that my door will always be open to all Alaskans," he said.
"While we have challenges to address, the opportunities in Alaska and our country are limitless," Sullivan said. "Today, we are going to begin the process of turning our country around and building a brighter future for our children."
Begich was not conceding. His campaign manager, Susanne Fleek-Green, said in a statement that Begich believes every vote deserves to be counted and will follow the Division of Elections as it continues toward a final count.

Huzzah!
Translation: Dems believe enough dead voters got their ballots in to keep the seat.
Seriously, give it up.
What’s this crap?
“Begich was not conceding. His campaign manager, Susanne Fleek-Green, said in a statement that Begich believes every vote deserves to be counted and will follow the Division of Elections as it continues toward a final count.”
“Begich was not conceding.
That’s because Begich has no concept of math. Just another reason he should be booted.
Begich plans to channel the algore?
He is trying to find out how many dead people votes he needs to pull out of his station wagon
OK, is that 53 or 54?
Thanks i a.
.
Begich is still hoping that more “lost” ballots will show up in the trunk of some old car abandoned in some parking lot.
It would be 53. Louisiana would be 54.
They found a trunk full of ballots in some car here in Washington state a few years ago.
Maybe up in Alaska it is the storage hold of a Piper Cub or under the benches in fishing boats?
Thanks.
I hear Mrzz Landrieu ain’t doing to good.
Zero donations so far.
Now she is all for Keystone XL.
Her “base” is gonna luv that, huh?
.
Go away Begich. It is embarrassing at this point
The Ace of Spades Decision Desk was right all along. As expected.
Excellent!
His campaign manager, Susanne Fleek-Green
Time for you to find a real JOB, Fleek-Green
