Unless something really weird happens, it appears that GOP Senate candidate Dan Sullivan’s lead will hold (See this dandy chart from Alexandra Gutierrez.) However, nobody has yet called the race, as they might in another place where the major networks use statisticians, which typically call races based on probably results. Because we don’t have those in Alaska, typically candidates do it themselves when a win is all but sure on Election Night. Sullivan didn’t do that. It’s unclear why, but it’s led to some interesting charges. One thing’s clear, if and when the race is called in his favor, it’s not an auspicious way to start a term. See below:
