The ranked-choice voting results won't be tabulated for 15 days. If one candidate gets a majority, the second choices on the ballot will be redistributed and counted as first choice votes.

Republican Kelly Tshibaka was endorsed by the Trump campaign and advanced in the state's open primary for the Senate. Two other candidates are yet to be determined, and they will join them in the general elections. Half the votes were counted and Murkowski held a one point advantage over Tshibaka.

Key Background

On April 1, she began her campaign by blaming the left for inflation and other problems. Trump noted that she was one of the first high-profile Republican figures to endorse his campaign. The governor of one of the least populous states became a household name when John McCain selected her as his running mate. She is the only woman to ever run on a Republican ticket. In June 2009, just months after McCain lost to Obama, she resigned as governor of Alaska because of ethics complaints she claimed werefrivolous.

There's a new ranked choice test.
