Marshall notes that Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has hinted he might refuse to certify Peltola's election, which would prevent Democrats from easily seating her. However, Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins is heavily favored to win the governorship on Tuesday, after which certification authority shifts to him.
“Alaska's Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy has hinted he might refuse to certify Peltola's election. If she's not certified by the state, Republicans don't really have to do anything.”
