A ballot measure seeking to repeal open primaries and ranked choice voting in Alaska is narrowly on track to lose, after the state Division of Elections counted almost 4,000 absentee ballots on Monday .

Preliminary results posted after Election Day showed supporters of the ballot measure leading by more than one point.

But as election workers counted the ballots of absentee voters — who disproportionately opposed the repeal effort — the gap narrowed.

Groh now has 50.3% of votes cast, compared to Republican challenger David Nelson ’s 49.6% . Results in other legislative races did not change substantially..
