Good chance, as there are a lot of early/absentee and village votes to be counted yet, probably mostly for Peltola. But as of now, he only needs .5% to make it 50% (plus 20 votes?), to avoid a stinky finger manipulative.
I voted yes on one. As per above, the min wage clause doesn't really apply mostly, and I approve of sick leave when needed (it can be abused).
When I retired from KPB employment, I had $26K of sick leave built up on the books, of which I got comped half . After 4 years with AKAir in Kotzebue, I had used none of their fairly generous sick leave. None of it was comped when I left. A co-worker took every hour as soon as she could, but she was a worthless bitch anyway. Nobody missed her and she was eventually let go. But she "worked" the heck out of the system for almost 2 years.
Several of my co-workers used it to go hunting, or when hung-over.
There was a teacher here that lost his job, and his certificate, being stupid... He asked his Principal for PL to fish the commercial halibut opening and was refused. Called in sick that day. Principal called his boat....
He was a lousy teacher anyway, and Paul was looking for an excuse...
