Democrat Mary Peltola rose slightly in Friday’s updated ballot count, anchoring her a bit deeper into fourth place in Alaska’s special U.S. House primary.
She’s now at 9.4%, anchored a bit deeper into fourth place, which would get her a spot on the special general ballot in August.
The Associated Press has now called the race for all four of the top finishers, indicating that its race callers believe no other outcome is possible. The Alaska Division of Elections expects to finalize the vote count on June 21. The results changed only slightly with 13,000 more mailed ballots counted Friday. Most of them arrived on or after the Saturday’s postmark deadline.
Republican Sarah Palin retains a major lead but has dipped just below 28%. Republican Nick Begich III remains at 19% and nonpartisan Al Gross is still at nearly 13%.
