What's the status of the Senate race in Alaska?

I thought they would be done with the count by Monday.

1. Was just about

to ask exactly the same question.

2. They should be done with the count today or tomorrow, so we should

probably know something by Thursday morning at the latest.

On edit: It's the final counting (not a recount). Sorry for the mis-information.

3. I don't think this is a recount

they are just now counting all the ballots. When that is done there will likely be a recount. So as in Minnesota and Georgia (run off) we are in it for the long haul. Maybe as an inauguration present to Obama we can give him 60 in the senate.

Stevens Still Trails Begich; Last Votes To Be Tallied Tuesday

Juneau, AK (AHN) - Alaska is set to count on Tuesday the last votes 24,000 cast in the race between Anchorage Democratic Mayor Mark Begich led Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK).

Begich for the first time took the lead last Wednesday and is now ahead with 138,959 votes, or 47.37 percent. Stevens trails with 137,937 votes, or 47.02 percent.

The final absentee and questioned ballots will be tallied on Tuesday, exactly two weeks after election day.

"From what we're seeing, thousands of Alaskans, like me, did come out and vote early. I'm confident that Alaskans, like the rest of the country, want a new direction in Washington, and ultimately that will be reflected in the results," Begich said in a statement last week.
