'About to make some history': Observers stunned as new Alaska numbers sink Trump's theoryRawStory reports that Mary Peltola's lead over Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska's Senate race has grown larger than independent Daniel J. Sullivan Jr.'s 4,027 votes, undercutting Donald Trump's argument that adding the "Fake Dan Sullivan's" ballots would hand the senator victory. With 84 percent counted, observers say Peltola may not even need ranked-choice tabulation, though the AP has not called the race.
