Well, the statistics whiz at fivethirtyeight.com notes that with over 80,000 votes to count, and a 3,000 vote margin, the Alaska Senate race still too early to call it.

In fact the number of uncounted votes has grown to 81,000.

Interestingly enough both Stevens and Begich believe this too, because they are both soliciting donations for lawyers.

At this point, there looks to be some sort of official vote tally in a fortnight.

Minnesota is even closer, with things down to a 204 vote margin, and most of the under votes coming from Democratic leaning precincts, so I think that it is even money as to whether Coleman or Franken wins.

An official count should be finished in about a week, and then you have the state mandated recount.
