Evan Reynolds reports in a New York Times article that the Mississippi Senate race remained tight after Election Day, with the latest votes showing Democrat Scott Colom leading Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith by about 2,000 votes, though populous counties like Harrison and Hinds had not updated tallies since election night, with certification due Nov. 13. In Alaska's uncalled race, Mary Peltola led Dan Sullivan by less than a percentage point, and a Times analysis of ranked-choice ballots suggests she is on track to prevail, with the next substantial update expected the following Tuesday.
