## Key points

- Both parties are raising money for recount efforts.
- Mississippi’s Senate race was separated by about 2,000 votes.
- Alaska uses ranked-choice voting and has more ballots to count.

## Summary

Party campaign committees are asking supporters to fund recount efforts in two Senate races that remain undecided days after polls closed. The contests matter because the narrow leads could determine who wins the seats, while the continuing count has prompted both parties to prepare for further challenges.

In Mississippi, Democrat Scott Colom led Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith by about 2,000 votes, with more than 95 per cent counted. In Alaska, Mary Peltola led Republican Dan Sullivan in the initial count, but the state uses ranked-choice voting; Sullivan’s campaign said he would lead by 328 votes in a hypothetical tally of ballots already received. More Alaska ballots are still expected, and final results could take until 18 November, while Mississippi’s count is expected to finish next week.
