密歇根州哈姆特拉姆克市市长选举一年后翻盘：韦恩县巡回法官下令认证计票结果、前市议员马哈茂德以12票反超
密歇根州韦恩县巡回法官凯瑟琳·麦卡锡10月30日作出裁决，下令韦恩县计票委员会认证一年前的哈姆特拉姆克市市长选举结果，认定没有证据表明前市议员穆希斯·马哈茂德不符合该市当选官员的居住要求。
现任市长亚当·阿尔哈尔比在2025年11月选举中以11票优势胜出，马哈茂德随后提出挑战，理由是选举日后发现的37张缺席选票未被计入。10月16日，由四人组成的韦恩县计票委员会清点了这37张选票，其中29张投给马哈茂德，使其总票数达到2089票，以12票反超阿尔哈尔比的2077票。
麦卡锡在裁决中驳回了关于马哈茂德不住在哈姆特拉姆克的各项证据和报告，马哈茂德本人坚称自己虽在特洛伊有一处住所，但主要居所仍在哈姆特拉姆克。阿尔哈尔比的律师纳比·艾亚德批评这项裁决，并表示计划向密歇根州上诉法院提起上诉，同时再次呼吁州总检察长就其所称的选票问题采取行动。
县书记官办公室尚未确认何时完成认证，如马哈茂德最终被正式宣布胜出，他将成为密歇根州历史上首位孟加拉国裔市长，他目前在底特律一家赌场内的餐馆工作。

Hamtramck Mayoral Election Flips a Year Later: Wayne County Judge Orders Certification as Former Councilman Mahmood Leads by 12 Votes
Wayne County, Michigan — Circuit Judge Kathleen McCarthy ruled on October 30 ordering the Wayne County Board of Canvassers to certify the results of Hamtramck's mayoral election from a year ago, finding no evidence that former councilman Muhith Mahmood fails to meet the city's residency requirements for elected officials.
Mayor Adam Alharbi won the November 2025 election by 11 votes. Mahmood challenged the result over 37 absentee ballots found after Election Day that were never counted. On October 16, the four-member county canvassing board counted the 37 ballots, 29 of them for Mahmood, giving him 2,089 votes to Alharbi's 2,077 — a 12-vote lead.
McCarthy dismissed the evidence and reports alleging Mahmood does not live in Hamtramck; Mahmood maintains that while he has a home in Troy, his primary residence is in Hamtramck. Alharbi's attorney, Nabih Ayad, blasted the decision, said he plans to appeal to the Michigan Court of Appeals, and again called on the state attorney general to act on alleged ballot issues.
The county clerk's office has not confirmed when certification will take place. If Mahmood is ultimately declared the winner, he would become the first Bangladeshi American mayor in Michigan history. He currently works at a restaurant inside a Detroit casino.
