Alaska Judge Denies Campaign’s Request for Rejected Ballot List Amidst Vote Count
An Alaska judge ruled that a request by U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola's campaign for a list of rejected absentee ballots was 'not reasonable', citing time constraints during the ongoing ballot count.
Binghamton, NY, November 11, 2026 — An Alaska judge has ruled against a request made by the campaign of U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola. The campaign had sought a list of rejected absentee ballots.
In a decision delivered during the ongoing ballot count, the judge stated that the request was ‘not reasonable’. The primary reason cited for the ruling was the significant time constraints being faced due to the active vote tabulation process.
The specific identity of the judge and the exact date of the ruling were not provided in the available information. Similarly, further details regarding the specific election for which the ballots are being counted, or the precise nature of the rejected ballots, were not elaborated upon.
The ruling means the campaign will not receive the requested list of rejected absentee ballots at this time, based on the judge’s assessment of the operational demands during the critical phase of vote counting.
