华盛顿报道 周三，阿拉斯加参议院选举结果仍未确定，这场由两位同名候选人丹·沙利文引发的竞争已获得广泛关注，且计票过程将耗时漫长。
现任共和党籍参议员丹·沙利文与民主党候选人玛丽·佩尔托拉在此次选举中对决，另有两名候选人出现在选票上：一名独立候选人、退休教师丹尼尔·J·沙利文，以及另一名共和党人杰拉尔德·海克斯。
据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的估计，截至周三上午，约四分之三的选票已统计完毕，但此次选举仍胜负难分。
阿拉斯加的计票工作可能会持续较长时间。该州实行排序复选制，选民可按偏好顺序对任意数量的候选人进行排名。如果没有候选人获得超过50%的选民将其列为首选，则计票将进入第二轮。
排序复选制的计票要等到选举日15天后的最终计票阶段才会进行，这意味着如果没有候选人获得超过50%的首轮支持票，整个过程可能会拖延数周。
民主党人已在多个州赢得足够席位以掌控参议院，这些州都是2024年特朗普总统以两位数优势获胜的州，阿拉斯加的选举结果将在此后公布。阿拉斯加要么为民主党的多数席位再添筹码，要么通过阻碍民主党的进一步获胜为共和党带来些许安慰。截至周三上午，另一场参议院选举密西西比州的竞选结果也仍未确定。
佩尔托拉在周三早些时候对记者表示：“结果不会很快出来。”

但她表示：“阿拉斯加人很有耐心。我们就是想让美国本土48州的民众知道，这个过程需要的不是几小时，也不是几天，而是数周。”
沙利文参议员同样向其支持者强调：“我们将度过一个漫长的夜晚，”并补充道，“我们可能还要经历一些漫长的几周。”
Alaska Senate race unresolved as candidates expect weekslong ballot-counting process

Washington — The Senate race in Alaska remains unresolved Wednesday, as a contest that has garnered widespread attention over thetwo candidates named Dan Sullivanfaces a lengthy ballot-counting process.
Incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola are facing off in the race, which also has two other candidates on the ballot: an independent candidate and retired teacher Daniel J. Sullivan, and another Republican, Gerald Heikes.
With around three-quarters of the vote in as of Wednesday morning, the race remains a toss-up, according to CBS News estimates.
The count in Alaska could stretch on. Alaska has a ranked-choice voting system, which allows voters to rank as many or as few candidates as they’d like in order of preference. If no candidate secures support from more than 50% of voters as their top choice, the count goes to a second round.
The ranked-choice tabulation doesn’t occur until the last counting of ballots 15 days after Election Day, meaning the process could drag on for weeks if one candidate does not secure more than 50% of first-place support on the ballot.
The results in Alaska will come after Democrats already secured enough seats to take control of the Senate, winning in several states that President Trump won by double digits in 2024. Alaska could either add to the Democrats’ majority, or deliver some relief to Republicans by blunting additional Democratic gains. One other Senate contest, the Mississippi race, also remained unresolved Wednesday morning.
Speaking to reporters early Wednesday morning, Peltola said, “The results are not going to be fast.”

“But Alaskans are patient,” she said. “We just want to make sure the folks [in] the Lower 48 know it won’t be hours, it won’t be days, it will be weeks.”
Sen. Sullivan likewise emphasized to supporters, “We’re going to have a long night,” adding, “We’re probably going to have some long weeks.”
