Nick Begich Wins Alaska House Seat in Ranked Choice Upset

The Alaska Division of Elections conducted the final unofficial vote count and began the ranked choice tabulation process to determine winners in races where no candidate achieved a majority in the first round. This process, livestreamed from Juneau, involves eliminating the candidate with the fewest votes and redistributing their voters' second choices until a candidate secures a majority. The results, affecting key races like the U.S. House and several legislative contests, will remain unofficial until certified by November 30.
