It's just getting started, but early results from this afternoon's ballot 
counting in the contest for U.S. Senate show Mark Begich gaining ground 
against incumbent Sen. Ted Stevens.

The elections division still has tens of thousands of ballots left to 
count today and even more next week, but the latest numbers show Stevens' 
lead is down to 971 votes. 

The new numbers, reflecting nearly 28,000 newly counted absentee ballots, 
are from all over the state. Election night, Stevens led the Democratic 
Begich by about 3,000 votes. 

The state today is counting a total of about 60,000 absentee and 
questioned ballots.

The Division of Elections said it expects to count roughly 35,000 
additional absentee and questioned ballots over the next week.

students are not very active in local elections (thank goodness!)."
