More than a dozen congressional races remain uncalled one week after the US midterms, according to Al Jazeera. In Alaska, Democrat Mary Peltola leads Republican Dan Sullivan by about 2,500 votes in the US Senate race, with 76 percent of the vote counted.
In Kansas, a close-race audit has been triggered in six races, including the gubernatorial race, following the midterms.
Democrats hope that several races too close to call will help expand their majorities in the US Congress.
In Minnesota’s 1st District, the race is still undecided with just 300 votes separating the top two candidates and 99 percent of votes counted.
Among independents, Democrats led 37% to 21%, with 28% undecided.
In California, Google, Meta, and other Big Tech interests account for at least 20 percent of all the contributions on the state’s legislative races, according to a CalMatters analysis.
