佛州第27国会选区终计萨拉查领先1090票 差距过小将重新计票

佛罗里达州迈阿密-戴德县迈阿密市的联邦众议院第27选区选举11月6日出现新进展,迈阿密-戴德县计票委员会11月6日上午完成终计,现任共和党众议员 Maria Elvira Salazar 领先民主党挑战者 Elliot Rodriguez 1090票,较选举夜的1325票差距缩小。
由于差距低于佛罗里达州法律规定的0.5%重新计票门槛,州务卿将下令重新计票,最早可于11月9日或10日开始。与此同时,Rodriguez 竞选团队11月6日向联邦法院起诉迈阿密-戴德县选举主管 Alina Garcia,要求她回避计票委员会工作。Garcia 回应说:我不会回避。Salazar 表示欢迎重新计票、支持程序透明进行。
第27选区从迈阿密市小哈瓦那延伸至 Cutler Bay 与 Kendall,约七成选民为拉美裔,是全美最胶着的众议院选战之一。
Salazar Leads by 1,090 Votes in Final FL-27 Count; Margin Triggers Recount
MIAMI, Fla. — Miami-Dade County's canvassing board completed its final count on the morning of November 6 in Florida's 27th Congressional District, with incumbent Republican Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar leading Democratic challenger Elliot Rodriguez by 1,090 votes, down from 1,325 on election night.
Because the margin is below Florida's 0.5% recount threshold, the secretary of state will order a recount, which could begin as early as November 9 or 10. Also on November 6, the Rodriguez campaign sued Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections Alina Garcia in federal court seeking her recusal from the canvassing board. Garcia responded that she would not recuse herself. Salazar said she welcomes the recount and supports a transparent process.
The 27th District runs from Little Havana in Miami to Cutler Bay and Kendall, is about 70% Latino, and is among the most closely contested House races in the country.
