Alaska only has 56% in. Is that normal for Alaska?

63% Trump
33% Biden

It should probably be closer than that. But is it normal for Alaska to be this slow counting?

We won't have a winner in Alaska for weeks likely.

As it appears nearly half the outstanding ballots were early.

most votes will come from Anchorage, Fairbanks, the broader south-central region -- shouldn't take that long.

The native villages can take a long time.
