Senator Stevens falls behind by 814 votes in Alaska

United States Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) was leading after the votes were counted on election day.  Not now.  After approximately 50,000 absentee and early voting ballots were counted, Stevens fell behind by over 800 votes.  There are still 40,000 ballots left uncounted.

The best passage in the article:

Stevens is trying to become the first person ever elected to the U.S. Senate after a being found guilty of felony crimes. A Washington, D.C., jury found him guilty a week before the election of lying about gifts on his financial disclosure forms.

Quite the honor to which Stevens is aspiring.
