Anchorage, Alaska - Senate candidate Mary Peltola is now suing Alaska after the state rejected several absentee ballots as she currently holds a thin-margin majority of votes days after the November 3 midterm elections.

Peltola's campaign group Alaskans for Mary sued the Alaska Division of Elections, Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom, and Director of Elections Carol Beecher, seeking the release of records identifying absentee ​ballots rejected in Tuesday's election and the reasons for those rejections.

The suit comes after President Donald Trump and his administration filed a lawsuit to block certification of the election of Democrats who won, arguing the presence of Independent candidate Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. could confuse voters with Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan.

On Tuesday, November 3, Democrats managed to pull off massive victories across the US, taking back the majorities of both the House and the Senate in a major rebuke to Trump's leadership.

Following Election Day, ballots in some races, such as Alaska's Senate race, continue to be counted.

As of Saturday around noon, Peltola appears to be the winner, securing 48.2% of the votes against Sullivan's 47.9%.

But with such a thin margin between the candidates, ballots that were mailed or have to be flown in from remote communities may influence the results as the state continues to accept them up until November 18.

In a press release, the Division of Elections insisted state laws do not require them to provide Peltola's campaign with such access, and argued doing so "would create additional burdens during ballot processing and could delay the timely counting of votes."

If neither candidate reaches 50% of the vote by November 18, the state will run an instant runoff using ranked choice voting.
