Just a few Senate and governor races remain uncounted as of noon on Wednesday, according to The Associated Press. In Mississippi, Democrat Scott Colom holds a slight lead over Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in the Senate race, with the difference in votes being a handful. Mississippi does not automatically initiate a recount, but a challenger can request a court order to conduct one.
In Alaska, Democrat Mary Peltola is leading Republican Dan Sullivan in the Senate race by 626 votes, which is roughly 74% of the total votes counted. The race will proceed to a ranked-choice voting system if neither candidate secures more than half the votes. In Alaska's gubernatorial race, Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins is ahead of Republican Bernadette Wilson by 20 percentage points, with an estimated 74% of the ballots counted.
The election will enter a second round if neither candidate attains more than half the votes. Kansas witnessed a tight race between Democrat Cindy Holscher and Republican Ty Masterson for the gubernatorial position. Holscher leads by less than one percentage point, with an estimated 98% of the votes counted. The race will not conclude until it's confirmed neither candidate can close the gap.
