Binghamton, NY, November 10, 2026 — A state judge is currently reviewing a lawsuit that challenges the rejection of absentee ballots in Alaska’s US Senate race. The legal action was filed by the campaign of Mary Peltola, the Democratic candidate for the US Senate.

The lawsuit centers on absentee ballots that were reportedly rejected during the election process. Specific details regarding the number of ballots affected, the reasons for their rejection, or the exact timeline of these events were not immediately available. The core of the legal challenge is whether these rejected ballots should be considered and potentially counted towards the final election outcome.

The process of reviewing the lawsuit involves the state’s judicial system, with a judge tasked to examine the claims and evidence presented. The judge’s role is to determine the legal merits of the case and issue a ruling based on applicable election laws and regulations.

Further information concerning the proceedings, potential hearings, or the eventual decision will be subject to subsequent reporting as it becomes available. The campaign of Mary Peltola initiated this lawsuit to address concerns about absentee ballot validity and their impact on the election.
