Alaska Election Results

The races in Alaska held a number of surprises including the gap between President Obama and his challenger, Mitt Romney. With almost 99% of precincts reporting, Obama received a little over 41% of the vote and Romney, over 54%.

This 13 point gap is nowhere near the significant divide reflected in other red states such as Oklahoma where Romney took 67% of the vote, or Wyoming where he received 69% (Romney’s top percentage came from Utah where he received 73% of the vote). Gary Johnson received just 2.5% of Alaska’s vote.

In the lone house race, Don Young dominated, receiving over 64% of the vote, meaning a significant percentage of Obama voters also cast a vote for Young.

Mr. Sen Tan, the one judge where a concerted non-retention effort was made by the Alaska Family Council, was able to retain his seat with a 53/46 vote, the closest of any Alaskan judge up for retention this year.
