(#6493) The senate election in Alaska will remain ongoing for several more days...

      As big a land mass and remote as Alaska is makes for a disjointed election verification process. However, since that is what it takes at this time to get all the votes tabulated correctly then so be it. Those of us who are less patient for results will have to learn to become less so. There isn't a major bend or break aspect to this race any longer since the democratic blue wave annihilated the concern that Alaska would be pivotal in deciding the majority in the senate. Be that as it may however, for too many of us this senate race in Alaska reminds us that our blue wave is not done. It would be the culmination of our blue wave like with Mississippi last evening.
     I think of it like this. We have created a magnificent dessert and now all we need is the cherry on top of it. Alaska is our cherry and we want that cherry! We also want Mary Peltola in the senate as she is a magnificent public servant. The more great public servants we have in office the better our government will perform. Just look at the last 2 years under people who don't even try to be great public servants. Their main goal is to enrich themselves and their donors. Well we the people have had enough of that grifting attitude which is why Mary Peltola carrying the day in Alaska is so important to us.
     Mary is currently leading by just under 4000 votes with 86% of ballots returned. Of the remaining 14% of votes yet to come in the majority should be for Peltola. How many that will be will decide whether Peltola climbs above 50% of the total vote cast. With ranked choice the winner in the final total on November 18th will need to have 50% plus one vote to be declared the winner. If not then the candidate with the fewest total votes will be eliminated and the votes they received will be added to the other candidates based upon their ranked choices. So on and until a candidate reaches the threshold of majority votes.
