Alaskans voted and here are the results as of Nov. 18th. The Alaska Division of Elections posted their newly updated counts last Wednesday. The final regional count of absentee and questioned ballots took place also on Wednesday. The State Election Review Board began their review of election materials on November 19th and the target date to certify the general election is November 25th.
There are some close numbers and some not so close. In House District 27, Liz Snyder (D) had 17 more votes than House Minority Leader Lance Pruitt. For House District 15, David Nelson (R) leads Lyn Franks (D) by 90 votes. House District 40 has Josiah Patkotak leading Elizabeth Ferguson (D) by 212 votes.
Ballot measure 1 did not pass, Ballot measure 2 passed. Congratulations everyone.
