AP is officially projecting Dan Sullivan to defeat incumbent Begich in AK

For the record, Begich is still not conceding yet. On Tuesday, counting of about 40,000 + uncounted ballots began, and about 17,000 were counted yesterday, resulting in a pickup of only about 100 votes by Begich, cutting Sullivan's lead from 8100 to 8000, a rather insignificant reduction. Still, well more than 20,000 votes still need to be counted, many from pro-Begich outlying areas.. So this is not a final result, though I find it extremely encouraging for Dan Sullivan. Begich is clinging to that 1% shot, but maybe by the end of the day today, with more ballots now being counted, he will finally make his concession.
