6.33 is the time. We are more than
a week out now from the midterm elections,
but across the country, there are still dozens
of races still too close to call.
Chinú is in our live center tracking just
a few of those that we are watching. Good morning.
Hey, good morning, guys. The two races being watched
the closest nationally right now
are for the Senate seats in Alaska and Mississippi.
Now, votes have been slow to trickle in for the
The Alaska Senate race there, about 75% were counted on election night.
Now it's up to 84%.
Democratic challenger Mary Peltola leads right now
with forty nine percent of the votes.
Now, if the results stay like this when one hundred percent are in,
it will take even longer.
That's because Alaska uses ranked choice ballots.
So if no candidate receives more than 50 percent, it triggers
a recount of everyone's second choices to determine a winner.
Under Alaska law, that ranked choice
tally can't start until November 18th.
So we could be waiting.
A bit while longer on this one.
Now, down in Mississippi, about 98% of the votes are in.
And right now, Democrat Scott Colome
is ahead by a tiny fraction of a percentage,
just under 3,000 votes.
On Election Day, his lead was just 65 votes.
So it's been gradually widening in the days since.
Now, one reason this race has not been called yet,
Mississippi has very strict election laws.
And many people were removed from the voter rolls without realizing it.
Those voters then had to use provisional ballots
on election day and are still
fighting to make sure their votes are counted.
Over in the House, there's still about 14 races
that have not been called, including Colorado's fourth district. So
The seat of Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert,
right now she's behind with 47.9 percent
to her challengers, 48.8.
Now that Democrat Eileen Laubacher has declared victory,
but the AP and most
other outlets, they have not officially called this race just yet.
So we'll keep a close eye
on that one. The two governor races also are still undecided right now.
That's in Kansas and Alaska.
A little more than a week out from the after the elections here,
you guys, but still a lot of races that have not been decided just yet.
Yeah. And then some here locally headed to a recount.
All right. All right. Thank you, Chinú.
