Report: Stevens defeated in Alaska
Posted: 09:19 PM ET
(CNN) — Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, the Republican lawmaker convicted on felony corruption charges in October, was defeated in his bid for re-election by Democrat Mark Begich, according to a release from Begich’s campaign and unofficial results from state officials.

The results Tuesday come two weeks after the election, after absentee ballots were counted.

With 100 percent of Alaska’s precincts reporting, Begich, the mayor of Anchorage, had roughly 47.7 percent of the vote, compared to about 46.6 percent for Stevens, according to unofficial results posted on the Alaska Secretary of State’s Web site. He bested Stevens by 3,724 votes, according to the posted results.
