There are still votes to be counted and begich seems to be winning 55 per cent of these late counted votes. Sullivan may have gone to DC prematurely. The last batch of 30 thousand votes counted on Friday had Sullivan drop over a thousand votes and begich gaining. If the same percentages hold with the next batch of 30 thousand late votes...the race could end up being nearly tied.
Correction: I saw an update that had Sllivan’s lead go back from 6900 to some 7600 plus votes.
As of Friday evening end of counting, Sullivan’s lead stood at 7,718 votes. There are only 9,800 remaining ballots and they will be counted on Monday. It’s over, Begich is just being a jerk about it.
