| Description | Rep. Don Young, a 35-year veteran of the U.S. House and currently under federal investigation, narrowly won the Republican primary battle Wednesday to keep his seat, Alaska's only one in the House of Representatives.
In a close race only decided with the final counting of about 350 outstanding absentee and questioned ballots, Young beat Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell by 304 votes.
Young finished with 48,195 votes; Parnell had 47,891 votes. State Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux was third with 9,901 votes. State election officials said they will certify the election on Thursday.
Parnell has previously said he will ask for a recount. Attempts to reach Parnell, who was traveling to Fairbanks on Wednesday, were not immediately successful.
