Alaska's Senate seat goes to ranked-choice rounds

Mary Peltola has 48.2% of the votes counted to 47.9% for Dan Sullivan, the Republican, short of the majority this race needs. Alaska counts ranked ballots: without a first-choice majority, the last-placed candidates are eliminated and their voters' next choices counted, round by round.
