BBC reports that what and who are on the ballot: The race for Mississippi's Senate seat remains dramatically close with Democrat Scott Colom leading Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith by a little over 1,100 votes. BBC reports that until 10 November, the state has to count provisional and late-arriving mail ballots.
BBC reports that votes are still being counted in two surprisingly tight Senate races in historically red states, Alaska and Mississippi, which could decide the true scale of Democrats' majority. Alaska Senate: Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan is running for reelection against Democrat Mary Peltola, a razor-thin race rocked by a last-minute scandal over how another Dan Sullivan got on the ballot, CBS News reports. CBS News reports that the count could drag on due to both outstanding ballots and Alaska's ranked choice voting system, which allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. BBC reports that Peltola, a former congresswoman and Native American, campaigned for "fish, family and freedom", while two-term Republican Senator Sullivan focused on his efforts to get Americans tax cuts and "unleash Alaska's energy potential". Peltola has denied any knowledge of such a scheme. Maine's 2nd District: This red, pro-Trump district is one of Republicans' top opportunities to flip a House seat, after moderate Democratic Rep. Jared Golden's decision not to run for reelection set the stage for a contest between former GOP Gov. Paul LePage and Democrat Matt Dunlap, CBS News reports. CBS News reports that the tabulation will start November 9.
