The Alaska Division of Elections counted about 27,000 additional ballots today. Murkowski and Tshibaka are now neck-and-neck in the U.S. Senate race. In the U.S. House race, Peltola is still far ahead of her Republican rivals.

So far, only first-choice votes have been counted. None of the congressional candidates appear on track to cross the 50% threshold. That means the outcome in both the House and Senate race will depend on second- and third-rankings. They’ll be tabulated Nov. 23. Tshibaka now has 43.34% to Murkowski’s 43.11% of first choice votes. The gap between them has shrunk dramatically. Murkowski is behind by only 565 votes, down from 3,000. If Murkowski doesn’t pull ahead in the next update this week, she’ll likely make that up when Democrat Pat Chesbro is eliminated and her 24,000 ballots transferred to the voter’s second choice.
