BREAKING: Peltola's Lead EXPLODES to 10,412 — Alaska's Last Senate Seat Comes Down to November 18

https://youtu.be/pOmGfbp_sjU 👈 go And watch Eleven days after America voted, one Senate seat is still not decided. One. And the lead in that race just exploded. On election night, Mary Peltola led Dan Sullivan by 637 votes. Tonight, that lead is 10,412 — and in five days, on November 18, ranked choice voting will decide it. In this video: the count right now from the Alaska Division of Elections (Peltola 138,240, Sullivan 127,828, 96% counted, AP status "Too Early to Call"); how the lead grew in every single count, from 637 to 10,412; why Alaska counts so slowly — ballots by plane from villages off the road system, overseas ballots accepted for 15 days; the two Dan Sullivans on the same ballot and why their votes cannot be combined; ranked choice voting step by step, and the FairVote projection of a 50.5–49.5 final round; and what one seat changes — a 56–44 Senate versus 55–45. The Peltola campaign declared victory on Thursday, November 12. The Associated Press has NOT called this race. Nothing in this video presents a winner as confirmed.
