In this episode: Guest host Zachariah Hughes talks with ADN reporter Iris Samuels about the final results, what they mean for governing coalitions and what else might change in the weeks ahead.

Palin reemerged in Alaska politics morethan a decade after resigning as governor with hopes of winning the state’s U.S. House seat. But she struggled to catch fire with voters and ran what critics saw as a lackluster campaign against Mary Peltola and Nick Begich III.

After 27,000 additional ballots were counted Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski was neck-and-neck with Trump-backed challenger Kelly Tshibaka, and Rep. Mary Peltola strengthened her lead over her Republican challengers. Both Murkowski and Peltola have ranked choice on their side.

U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka, who appears set to lose her bid against incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski, said in an interview that “our war is not over yet.”

In this episode: A lot remains up in the air after election day in Alaska, but as vote counts rolled in, some clear storylines are emerging.

Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola was leading in first-choice votes after early returns were posted Tuesday night. Former Gov. Sarah Palin was in second place, ahead of fellow Republican Nick Begich.

Alaskans voted in races for governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House and 59 of 60 seats in the Alaska Legislature, and whether to call a constitutional convention.

Alaskans will use ranked choice voting in races for governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House and seats in the state Legislature. Voters will also decide whether to call a constitutional convention. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

In the final stretch, candidates were busy making their final appeals to voters and election officials are manning over 150 early voting locations.

Candidates in the U.S. House, U.S. Senate and governor’s races are urging voters to head to the polls, in what could become the deciding days of monthslong campaigns.

Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer, who oversees elections, said he’s satisfied that Alaska’s ballot-counting processes in the Nov 8 general election will work to keep voting secure. But he said misinformation about voter fraud is a concern.
