北卡罗来纳州第10国会选区哈里根领先收窄至2505票：福赛斯县临时选票使贝尔追回896票，美联社仍称胜负未定
美国北卡罗来纳州 Winston-Salem 消息，北卡罗来纳州第 10 国会选区的计票在福赛斯县临时选票计入后收窄。据 QNC 新闻 11 月 12 日报道，共和党联邦众议员帕特·哈里根对民主党人阿什莉·贝尔的领先已缩至 2505 票，计票结果完整但仍属非官方。
哈里根现得票率为百分之四十九点六三，贝尔为百分之四十八点七八，独立候选人史蒂文·费尔德曼分走其余大部分选票。贝尔从福赛斯县临时选票中追回 896 票，使这一差距由先前计票的 3000 票以上继续收窄。该选区覆盖北卡罗来纳州中西部部分地区，包括Winston-Salem。
美联社仍称该赛胜负未定，全区 187 个投票区全部报告，约百分之九十九的预计选票已计。各县选举委员会仍须完成核票并认证结果，结果方为正式；收窄后的差距已落入百分之一范围内，按州法，落败一方可在核票完成后要求重计。
该区是北卡罗来纳州多场在 11 月 3 日中期选举一周后仍未决出的联邦众议院选举之一。两方竞选团队均表示正逐县监察核票，并为认证后可能出现的重计做准备。
Harrigan's Lead Narrows to 2,505 Votes in North Carolina's 10th Congressional District: Forsyth County Provisional Ballots Give Bell 896 Votes, and the Associated Press Still Rates the Race Too Early to Call
WINSTON SALEM, North Carolina, United States — The race for North Carolina's tenth congressional district has moved firmly into recount territory after provisional ballots counted in Forsyth County cut the lead of Republican Representative Pat Harrigan over Democrat Ashley Bell to 2,505 votes in complete but unofficial results, QNC News reported on November 12.
Harrigan, a first term Republican, now stands at 49.63 per cent of the vote to 48.78 per cent for Bell, with independent Steven Feldman taking most of the remainder. Bell gained 896 votes from the Forsyth County provisional ballots, the latest batch of late counted votes to narrow a margin that stood above 3,000 votes in earlier counts from the district, which covers parts of central and western North Carolina including Winston Salem.
The Associated Press still rates the contest too early to call, with all 187 precincts reporting and about 99 per cent of the expected vote counted. County boards must still complete their canvass and certify results before the outcome becomes official, and the tightened margin now sits inside the one percent range that allows the trailing candidate to request a recount under state law.
The district is one of several North Carolina House races that remained unresolved a week after the November 3 midterm elections. Both campaigns say they are monitoring the canvass county by county and preparing for a possible recount fight once the results are certified.
