Begich Takes Lead Over Stevens
Mark Begich (D) made a dramatic comeback to overtake Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) for the lead in Alaska’s U.S. Senate race, the Anchorage Daily News reports.
After a day of counting absentee and early ballots, Begich, who was losing after election night by more than 3000 votes, now leads Stevens by 814 votes.
The state still needs to count at least 15,000 questioned ballots and an estimated 25,000 absentees over the next week.
