      Control of the US Senate could hang in limbo for weeks as America’s election fate may come down to a slow-motion vote count across Alaska’s frozen tundra. There are 600,000 voters scattered across a vast expanse of 586,000 square miles, and Alaska’s unusual ballot-counting rules and a legal fight over the contest could delay the result for days or even weeks. The state’s Senate race between Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola could prove pivotal in determining which party controls the chamber.
