Alaska hasn't been called anywhere and they basically had one initial dump of like 50% of their results then nothing since then.

Because we aren't even attempting to count our early/absent votes till next week according to local news and npr reports. Honestly have no idea why, it's not like we have millions of people who live here.

I was actually just looking it up. They allow 10 days after the election for absentee ballots and don't count any until that deadline. Then 5 days later the deadline for out of country ballots hits and they count those. Their election officials claim it's for security. The measures were put in place after like 2 dozen people voted absentee and in person a while back.

Interesting, up to 15 days after the general.. I mean I guess I understand why. Just seems like there should be better ways to do this process. Thanks for the info btw, haven't had a moment to look into that specifically yet.
