亚利桑那州第2国会选区仍未判定：共和党众议员克莱恩对民主党人内兹保持微弱领先，约99%预计选票已计
美国亚利桑那州第 2 国会选区的联邦众议员选举在投票日数天后仍难分胜负。截至周六，约 98.9% 的预计选票已清点，共和党现任众议员伊莱·克莱恩（Eli Crane）以 162,741 票对 158,857 票，在该州东北部乡村选区保持微弱领先，民主党挑战者乔纳森·内兹（Jonathan Nez）紧随其后；计票一周间，领先方曾多次易手，该选区因此仍被视为胜负难料、尚未判定。
两人在 2024 年曾对决：克莱恩当时以 9 个百分点的优势击败曾任纳瓦霍族主席的内兹，该选区涵盖弗拉格斯塔夫、塞多纳与普雷斯科特等地，长期由共和党掌握。今年这场选战吸引了大量投入，全国性团体向亚利桑那州的竞争选区注入资金。
该选区是全美所剩不多的未判定众议院选区之一，其结果将影响民主党自 2027 年 1 月起在众议院多数优势的最终规模。亚利桑那州另外两个竞争激烈的选区已经翻转：第 1 选区民主党人阿米什·沙阿（Amish Shah）击败杰伊·菲利（Jay Feely），第 6 选区民主党人乔安娜·门多萨（JoAnna Mendoza）击败现任共和党众议员胡安·西斯科马尼（Juan Ciscomani）。
亚利桑那州的选举结果在州与地方官员完成计票并认证前仍属非官方结果。选举官员提醒，这个地域辽阔的选区剩余选票仍在清点与核验，确认获胜者可能还需数天。
Arizona's 2nd Congressional District Remains Uncalled: Republican Rep. Crane Holds a Narrow Lead Over Democrat Nez With About 99% of the Estimated Vote Tallied
Republican Representative Eli Crane is clinging to a narrow lead over Democrat Jonathan Nez in one of the closest House races of the midterm elections, with the contest in Arizona's 2nd Congressional District still too close to call days after polls closed. With about 98.9 percent of the estimated vote tallied as of Saturday, Crane led Nez by 162,741 votes to 158,857 in the rural northeastern Arizona district, although the lead changed hands several times as ballots were counted through the week.
Crane defeated Nez, a former president of the Navajo Nation, by nine points when the two men met in 2024, and the district, which takes in Flagstaff, Sedona and Prescott, has been reliably Republican. This year the race drew heavy spending as national groups poured money into the Arizona battlegrounds.
The district is among the dwindling number of uncalled House races in the country, and its result will help determine the final size of the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives from January 2027. Democrats have already flipped the other two competitive Arizona seats, with Amish Shah defeating Jay Feely in the 1st District and JoAnna Mendoza ousting incumbent Juan Ciscomani in the 6th District.
Arizona results remain unofficial until state and local officials complete the count and certify the outcome. Election officials cautioned that confirming a winner could take several more days as the remaining votes are tallied and verified across the sprawling district.
