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

[Renew Deal]

63% Trump
33% Biden

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

1. Dog sleds running slow?

🤣🤣🤣

2. Alaska counts same-day ballots first and then early ballots weeks after.

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

As it appears nearly half the outstanding ballots were early.

3. Cold slowing down the flow?

4. Lots of small districts (population wise) widely dispersed...

with not a lot of communications between them.

5. It's usually slow

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.
