新罕布什尔州8场州众议院选战进入重新计票 11月9日起在康科德手工复核

新罕布什尔州康科德市(Concord)— 11月3日中期选举结束后,新罕布什尔州多场州众议院选战因票数过于接近而进入重新计票程序。
州务卿办公室证实,截至11月5日下午,已收到8项初步重新计票申请,涉及卡罗尔、格拉夫顿、梅里马克、罗金厄姆和斯特拉福德五个县的选区,其中不少席位的胜负差距仅为个位数。
按照州务卿办公室公布的日程,首批重新计票将于11月9日在康科德市州档案馆展开,当天上午9时复核卡罗尔第8选区,下午1时复核斯特拉福德第1选区,全部采用手工计票方式进行。其余场次将陆续排至11月20日,其中涉及 Hollis 与 Brookline 两镇的希尔斯伯勒第36选区和第45选区定于11月19日复核。
根据州法律,候选人在总票数差距不足20%时可申请重新计票。本次选举民主党已在州众议院取得约292比107的优势,重新计票结果仍可能对个别席位归属产生影响。
Eight New Hampshire State House Races Head to Recounts, With Hand Recounts Starting Nov. 9 in Concord
CONCORD, N.H. — After the November 3 midterm elections, several New Hampshire state House races have entered recounts because the margins were too close to settle.
The Secretary of State's office confirmed that as of the afternoon of November 5, it had received eight preliminary recount requests covering districts in five counties — Carroll, Grafton, Merrimack, Rockingham and Strafford — with several seats decided by single-digit margins.
Under the schedule released by the Secretary of State's office, the first recounts will begin on November 9 at the state archives in Concord, with Carroll District 8 reviewed at 9 a.m. and Strafford District 1 at 1 p.m., all conducted by hand count. The remaining recounts are scheduled through November 20, including Hillsborough Districts 36 and 45, covering the towns of Hollis and Brookline, set for November 19.
Under state law, a candidate may request a recount when the margin is less than 20 percent of the total vote. Democrats have won a roughly 292-to-107 advantage in the state House in this election, but the recounts could still change the outcome of individual seats.
