华盛顿州皮尔斯县第25立法选区第2席仅差4票：雅各布森领先斯特里克林、已计逾56000票，县核票会11月24日认证后强制重计几成定局
美国华盛顿州皮尤奥普市消息，华盛顿州皮尔斯县一场州众议院选举仅以 4 票之差领先。据皮尔斯县最新计票，在第 25 立法选区第 2 席，共和党州众议员辛迪·雅各布森仅领先民主党挑战者珍·玛丽·斯特里克林 4 票，已计选票逾 56000 张。
该选区覆盖皮尤奥普市及其东面与东南面周边地区。雅各布森自 2020 年起担任该席，自至少 2012 年以来该席一直由共和党人担任。
该选区的另一席位第 1 席同样接近：民主党挑战者戴维·伯格领先共和党州众议员迈克尔·基顿 900 票，已计选票逾 56200 张；该席自 2014 年以来由共和党人担任。
按皮尔斯县重计规则，当两名候选人差距小于百分之零点五且少于 2000 票时，触发强制机器重计；对非全州职位，当差距小于 150 票且小于百分之零点二五时，还须进行人工手计重计。雅各布森与斯特里克林一赛两项门槛均已达到。
重计只能在选举认证后进行。皮尔斯县核票会定于 11 月 24 日认证大选结果，州务卿将于 12 月 3 日认证结果。最终票数将决定是否下令重计。
Four Votes Separate the Candidates in Washington's Pierce County Legislative District 25, Position 2: Jacobsen Leads Strickling With More Than 56,000 Ballots Counted, and a Mandatory Recount Is All but Certain After the County Canvassing Board Certifies on November 24
PUYALLUP, Washington, United States — A Pierce County legislative race is balanced on a four vote margin. In Legislative District 25, Position 2, Republican Representative Cyndy Jacobsen leads Democratic challenger Jenn Marie Strickling by just four votes out of more than 56,000 counted, according to the latest Pierce County tally.
The district covers Puyallup and surrounding areas to the east and southeast. Jacobsen has held the seat since 2020, and a Republican has occupied it since at least 2012.
The district's other House seat, Position 1, is also closely contested. Democratic challenger David Berg leads Republican Representative Michael Keaton, who was elected in 2024, by 900 votes with more than 56,200 ballots counted. A Republican has held that seat since 2014.
Under Pierce County's recount rules, a mandatory machine recount is triggered when the margin between candidates is less than half a percentage point and fewer than 2,000 votes. A manual hand recount is required for non statewide offices when the difference is less than 150 votes and one quarter of 1 percent. Both thresholds appear to have been met in the Jacobsen Strickling race.
Recounts occur only after election certification. The Pierce County Canvassing Board is scheduled to certify the general election on November 24, and the Secretary of State will certify results on December 3. The final tallies will determine whether a recount is ordered.
