The final U. S. Senate contests in Mississippi and Alaska remained pending on 5 November as close vote tallies and Alaska’s ranked-choice counting delayed certification, leaving control of the Senate uncertain.

Earlier, preliminary results in Alaska showed Democrat Mary Peltola ahead of incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan, but officials said the ranked-choice tabulation could take weeks. Analysts also noted that the Mississippi race was similarly tight, and that mail-in and remote ballots were still being processed, meaning both contests could remain undecided for several more days.

Résumé

One claim was partially confirmed, specifically that preliminary results on November 4, 2026, showed Democrat Mary Peltola ahead of incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska. There was not enough evidence to verify that the final outcome of the Alaska Senate race will be decided after ranked-choice tabulation in mid-November 2026. Insufficient evidence was available to confirm that a ballot-name controversy in the Alaska Senate race remained under investigation as of November 4, 2026. Additionally, there was not enough evidence to confirm that on November 4, 2026, with more than 80% of precincts reported, incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan led Democrat Mary Peltola by less than one percentage point.
