Alaska Senate Race Results

Alaska Senate Race Results

While there were hundreds of political elections taking place across the country on Tuesday, the most unusual race must have been the Alaska Senator Race. As of this morning, 76% of the votes cast in Alaska had been received and counted.

The person winning the race so far was not either of the candidates on the ballot, but instead the “write-in” candidate.

Of votes that have been received, the write-in vote had received about 41% of the votes.

This leads the pack as Republican Joe Miller had received only 34% and Democrat Scott McAdams had received only 24%.

The winner of the “write-in” votes is expected to be Senator Lisa Murkowski, who is the incumbent in office. Murkowski launched a full write-in campaign, and if she wins, she will be the first senator elected via write-in in over 50 years. The actual tally of votes for Murkowski will most likely not be known for a few days.
