Let's say Ted Stevens is reelected in November. Then, a few weeks later, he's found guilty in his corruption trial and sentenced to prison. Can he retain his seat or will he have to forefit it?
Conviction of a felony is not a disqualification for being a US senator or representative.  Depending on Alaska election law, it could disqualify him as a voter, but you don't have to be able to vote for yourself.

The Senate could expell him.
