Al Jazeera reported on November 5 that the U. S. Senate races in Mississippi and Alaska remained unresolved as close vote tallies and, in Alaska, a ranked-choice tabulation delayed final certification, keeping Senate control uncertain.

Subsequent coverage noted that both the Senate and governor’s contests in Alaska were too close to call, underscoring the uncertainty surrounding the final outcomes.
