How Election Week 2022 Went Down

Remember early in the night, when we were young, and the Georgia Senate race was the talk of the town? Whatever happened to that guy, anyway? Well: Walker currently has 49.2 percent of the vote, and Warnock has 48.8 percent. Libertarian Chase Oliver has 2.0 percent, preventing either from getting to a majority right now.

But if Mary Peltola wins 50 percent in Alaska right off the bat, which polling suggests she might, we won’t have to wait for the ranked-choice tabulation (at least in that race — the Senate race will likely need it).

Polls have closed in most of Alaska (where we’re watching the race for governor, House and Senate) but it will take a while to count all the votes. We expect to receive some updates overnight, and then another round Nov. 15 and Nov. 18. The state won’t release official winners until Nov. 23 because of its ranked-choice voting system.
