President Donald Trump is projected to have defeated the Democratic candidate, Joe Biden in Alaska, according to a CNN update of the US presidential results.
The news channel stated that the Republican candidate won the three electoral college votes at stake in the state, taking his projected electoral college votes to 217.
Reuters reported that Edison Research projected on Wednesday, November 11, that Trump had won Alaska.
The media outlet, however, pointed out that the projected three electoral college votes won by Trump will not change the predicted outcome of the US presidential election.

Meanwhile, the election commissioner for Philadelphia, Al Schmidt, has debunked claims that dead persons voted during the just-concluded United States (US) presidential election.
Schmidt noted that after a thorough investigation, it was discovered that there was no evidence to back up the allegations that deceased persons took part in the poll after their demise as claimed, NBC News reports.
The commissioner, therefore, described the report that has been spread on social media as ridiculous, saying the claims were void of evidence.
