Why haven’t they given an update on the election yet? How long does it take to count 25% and 4% of votes?

Some votes can’t be counted until Tuesday

I’m not sure about Mississippi my guess is bc of the lack of any recount laws they’re trying to be extra thorough. As for Alaska it’s extremely unique because of how widespread the state is with many areas not having as good of a mail system as the rest of the contiguous US. Take Adak, Alaska population just below 200. You really think they’re gonna be able to deliver all the votes that easily from where they are on the map?

In ms people who cast provisional ballots have up to 5 business days to appear to their local courthouse (or town hall or smn not sure exactly where) and provide ID, which would give them until Tuesday. Alaska accepts mail ballots up to 2 weeks after election night because of how remote the locations are. It’s a code enough race that a few remote villages could swing the election. Plus they haven’t even begun the second round of ranked choice yet

I think ms is more likely than Alaska atp (which is crazy) js bc of where the outstanding ballots are, but both are likely to face legal challenges/recounts I’d say. I think 56 is more likely than 54, but I’d hedge on 55
