美联社宣布拉布赢得宾州第3国会选区 接替退休众议员埃文斯
美国宾夕法尼亚州费城市的国会选举11月3日晚出结果：美联社宣布，民主党人克里斯·拉布（Chris Rabb）赢得联邦众议院宾夕法尼亚州第3国会选区选举，将接替宣布退休的民主党众议员德怀特·埃文斯（Dwight Evans），进入国会代表费城选区。截至美联社宣布时，拉布得票大幅领先，该选区已有超过九成选区报告计票结果。
拉布在没有共和党对手的情况下，击败以独立人士身份参选的丹尼斯·马奥尼（Dennis Mahoney）。拉布现任宾夕法尼亚州众议员，此前在民主党初选中经过激烈竞争胜出，先后击败州参议员谢里夫·斯特里特（Sharif Street）和医生阿拉·斯坦福（Ala Stanford），获得党内提名。
第3选区覆盖费城多个区域，从南费城到西费城、费尔芒特及西北部地区，是费城政治版图中的重要选区。埃文斯长期代表该选区，他的退休使今年的席位之争成为开放席位选举。拉布的胜选意味着这一席位继续由民主党掌握。费城投票站当天开放至晚上8时，选举日当天上午7时起，选举部门即对邮寄选票和缺席选票进行预先处理。美联社的宣布是媒体根据已报告计票作出的判定，并非官方认证；最终结果以计票完成后的官方认证为准。
AP Calls Pennsylvania's 3rd District for Chris Rabb, Succeeding Retiring Rep. Dwight Evans
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — The Associated Press has called the race for Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District for Democrat Chris Rabb, who will succeed retiring Democratic Rep. Dwight Evans in Congress representing Philadelphia. At the time of the AP call, Rabb held a commanding lead with more than 90 percent of precincts reporting.
Rabb defeated independent candidate Dennis Mahoney in a race with no Republican nominee. A sitting Pennsylvania state representative, Rabb won a hard-fought Democratic primary, defeating State Senator Sharif Street and physician Ala Stanford to secure the nomination.
The 3rd District covers neighborhoods from South Philadelphia to West Philadelphia, Fairmount and the Northwest, and is a key seat in the city's political map. Evans's retirement made this year's contest an open-seat race, and Rabb's victory keeps the seat in Democratic hands. Philadelphia polls were open until 8 p.m., and election officials began pre-canvassing mail and absentee ballots at 7 a.m. on Election Day. An Associated Press call is a media determination based on reported returns, not an official certification; the final result follows the completed count and certification.
