明尼苏达州第1国会选区约翰逊以323票、0.10个百分点领先芬斯塔德：芬斯塔德称将寻求重计、州核票委员会11月19日开会
罗切斯特 — 据明尼苏达州务卿公布的非官方结果，在明尼苏达州第 1 国会选区，民主党挑战者杰克约翰逊以 323 票领先共和党现任众议员布拉德芬斯塔德，差距为 0.10 个百分点，全部 750 个投票站均已报告。
明尼苏达大学 Smart Politics 研究指出，若这一差距保持，它将是该州建州以来 625 多场联邦众议院普通与特别选举中胜负差距第三小的一场。
约翰逊现年 43 岁，曾在罗切斯特公立学校任数学教师，是首次参选公职的候选人，他已宣布胜选。芬斯塔德现年 50 岁，于 2022 年 8 月一次特别选举中赢得该席位，其后在同年 11 月与 2024 年两次连任。
芬斯塔德在一份声明中表示将寻求对该选区选票进行重计，并说本场竞选目前的票数差距不到重计门槛的一半。明尼苏达州法律规定，差距小于 0.25% 时，落败一方可申请由公共资金支付的重计。
按程序，县核票委员会于 11 月 6 日至 13 日审查结果，州核票委员会定于 11 月 19 日开会，重计在州核票委员会会议之前不能开始。
美联社尚未判定这场竞选的结果，在重计与认证完成前，该席位归属仍未正式确定。
Minnesota's 1st District: Johnson Leads Finstad by 323 Votes, or 0.10 Points, as Finstad Says He Will Seek a Recount and the State Canvassing Board Meets on November 19
Rochester — In Minnesota's 1st Congressional District, Democratic challenger Jake Johnson leads Republican incumbent Rep. Brad Finstad by 323 votes, or 0.10 percentage points, in unofficial results from the Minnesota Secretary of State, with all 750 precincts reporting.
Research by Smart Politics at the University of Minnesota found that if that margin holds, the contest will rank as the third smallest victory margin out of more than 625 general and special U.S. House elections held in Minnesota since statehood.
Johnson, 43, a former Rochester Public Schools math teacher and first time candidate for public office, has declared victory. Finstad, 50, won the seat in an August 2022 special election and was re-elected that November and in 2024.
Finstad said in a statement that he will seek a recount of the votes in the district, and that the vote total in the race currently reflected less than one half of the recount threshold. Under Minnesota law, a margin of less than 0.25 percent entitles the losing candidate to seek a publicly financed recount.
County canvassing boards review results between November 6 and 13, and the State Canvassing Board meets on November 19, before which no recount can begin.
The Associated Press has not called the race, and the seat remains formally undecided until the recount and certification are complete.
