  "summary": "An Alaska judge ruled Wednesday that a request by Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign for a list of rejected absentee ballots is “not reasonable.” According to the Winnipeg Free Press, the ruling comes as election officials face a time crunch while continuing to count ballots from last week's election.\n\nSuperior Court Judge Thomas Matthew denied the request, noting that Alaska’s Division of Election is currently busy processing ballots from the 2026 general election and lacks the capacity to fulfill the request, according to The Hill. The state's competitive Senate election has not yet been called.",
