Alaska judge rules a request by Peltola campaign for ballot data in Senate race is ‘not reasonable’

An Alaska judge ruled Wednesday that Mary Peltola’s Senate campaign cannot obtain a list of absentee voters whose ballots were rejected, calling the request unreasonable amid the ongoing count. The campaign said it sought the records to help ensure qualified votes were counted; state attorneys argued disclosure would threaten voter privacy. The closely watched race between Peltola and Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan remains uncalled as ballots continue to be tallied.
