Alaska will take a very long time, I suspect. Ranked choice voting is better, but requires effectively a full count before redistributing losing-candidate votes.

I’ve read that this is also compounded by how remote some of the communities in Alaska are - it simply takes longer to collect up all the votes to begin with.

The state is also huge and rural. It’s something like 20% the size of the lower 48, full of mountains and forests. I assume that a lot of that information is transmitted, but I also assume that there is a lot of snail mail that takes its time.
