Two outlets report that Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins has won Alaska's gubernatorial election, ending a Republican hold on the office, but they describe the length of Democratic absence differently.
His victory means Democrats will control the governor's office in 30 states, including several they flipped after years of Republican control in places such as Iowa, Georgia, Ohio and Texas.
Times of India reported the story as "Who is Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins? Democrat wins Alaska governor's race." The Independent reported the story as "Alaska elects Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins as governor - the first Democrat in two decades."
