It wasn't the birthday present Sen. Ted Stevens was hoping for, as he has been defeated in his attempt for re-election. On Tuesday, the Alaska division of elections counted the remaining absentee and questioned ballots - and the lead for Mark Begich only got wider. As it stands, Begich has won the race by 3,724 votes - an insurmountable lead with only a few thousand absentee ballots left to be counted. So far, there has been no word if Sen. Stevens will ask for a recount. For the latest, join ABC Alaska News tonight at 5, 6 and 10.
