In Alaska, Democrat Begich is now ahead of Felon Stevens by 814

As of 7:33 PM Alaska Time, Democrat Mark Begich had increased his lead over Ted Stevens to 814 votes. A couple hours ago, Begich was up by 3 votes. When the day started, before the counting of absentees and early votes began, Stevens was up by over 3,000 votes.

Begich has 132,196 votes (47.41%) to 131,382 votes (47.12%) for Stevens. And, the counting isn't over. Waiting for a report on what's left. From the ADN:

The state Division of Elections tallied about 60,000 absentee, early and questioned ballots on Wednesday. The ballots broke heavily in Begich's favor, erasing the 3,000-vote lead that Stevens had after election night last Tuesday.

The state still needs to count at least 15,000 questioned ballots and an estimated 20,000 mailed absentee ballots that made it to the Division of Elections after election day last Tuesday.

The regional election districts centered in the Mat-Su Valley, Nome and Fairbanks will count their remaining ballots Friday. The Southcentral regional election district, based in Anchorage, plans to count ballots between Monday and Wednesday.

UPDATE: Markos reported that the remaining votes are in "Begich-friendly districts." This is looking good.
