Uncalled

Kansas: Democrat Cindy Holscher led Republican Ty Masterson by 5,557 votes as of Wednesday morning, the Kansas Reflector reported in a story KCUR carried. It reported no AP call as of 10 a.m. and that mail ballots postmarked by Tuesday and received by Friday count. “Every Kansan deserves to know the result is right,” Masterson said. Holscher said “we are confident that once all the votes are counted, we will win.”⁵

Alaska: First-choice votes tallied Tuesday night were Bronson 14.1%, Kreiss-Tomkins 48.8%, Taylor 7.4% and Wilson 29.4%, the Anchorage Daily News reported. Ranked-choice tabulation applies if no candidate tops 50%; counting runs to Nov. 18.⁶

What the records do not show

• No state has certified; all counts are unofficial.
• Vote shares: we could not open civicAPI's results, which this story set out to use, or NBC's results page, so this list gives none. Ballotpedia state pages we opened showed shares from different moments in the count, not one comparable set.
• Who called each race: we did not confirm it for each state, so no race credits a caller.
• The winners come from different sources and times, listed on each line. Some Ballotpedia pages we opened still showed no result, and others, including Alaska's, Kansas's and Ohio's, would not open.
• Our race pages also list Sondra Wilson in Iowa and Joseph Kibler in Wyoming. Neither is on the state's general-election candidate list, so neither is listed above. Ballotpedia lists Kibler as withdrawn or disqualified and does not list Wilson. We did not determine whether either ran as a write-in.^44434214
• MultiState also lists Bu La'ia Hill (Nonpartisan) in Hawaii; Ballotpedia does not, and we did not confirm Hill's ballot status.¹⁰¹¹
• White (Working Class) in Maryland and Young (G) in Minnesota are listed from our race data; no page we opened names them, and we did not confirm them.
• Our race pages also list Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands; we did not check those races.
