Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska fell slightly behind his Democratic rival, Mark Begich, on Wednesday, as ballot counting continued in one of the nation’s most closely fought Senate races.
Make your selections for the president-elect’s cabinet and compare other readers’ picks.
In an initial count after Election Day, Mr. Stevens led Mr. Begich, the mayor of Anchorage, by 3,257 votes.
Mr. Begich led Mr. Stevens by just 814 votes after about 57,000 additional ballots were counted on Wednesday. So far, about 279,000 votes have been counted in the Senate race, and about 35,000 more remain to be counted. It could be next week before the count is complete.
Republicans claimed then that traditional voting patterns among absentee voters favored Mr. Stevens’s holding on to win, but Mr. Begich countered that he had made a concerted effort to win early and absentee voters. Initial counts of those ballots appear to be favoring Mr. Begich.
Mr. Stevens, a Republican who has served for 40 years, was convicted eight days before the election on seven felony counts of failing to disclose gifts he had received.
In the House race, Representative Don Young, a Republican, was declared winner on Wednesday, with 50 percent of the vote, to 45 percent for his Democratic opponent, Ethan Berkowitz. It will be the 19th term for Mr. Young, 75.
