肯塔基州州众议院第36选区100票差距触发自动重计：霍奇森10389票对佐恩10289票，重计定于11月16日上午8时30分在杰斐逊县书记官选举仓库举行
美国肯塔基州 Louisville 消息，肯塔基州一席州众议院席位仅以 100 票之差定胜负，现已确定进入重计。据杰斐逊县书记官办公室消息，杰斐逊县选举委员会将重计州众议院第 36 选区选票，此前共和党现任议员约翰·霍奇森在 11 月 3 日选举中以微弱优势击败民主党人威廉·伍迪·佐恩。
非官方结果显示，霍奇森得 10389 票，佐恩得 10289 票，霍奇森多出 100 票，差距小于百分之零点五。按肯塔基州法律，当一名候选人落败差距不超过该职位总票数的百分之零点五时，须进行自动重计。
县书记官戴维·耶茨在周二的新闻稿中说，重计将于 11 月 16 日周一上午 8 时 30 分在杰斐逊县书记官办公室选举仓库举行。此前报道说，县书记官办公室须在周二中午前把选举结果认证并送交州务卿，其后州选举委员会将致函县里要求重计，重计最迟须于 11 月 17 日开始。
该选区是杰斐逊县竞争最接近的选举之一。重计的信息与结果将在可得时发布。
A 100 Vote Margin Triggers an Automatic Recount in Kentucky's House District 36: Hodgson Has 10,389 Votes to Zorn's 10,289, and the Recount Is Set for 8:30 a.m. on November 16 at the Jefferson County Clerk's Election Warehouse
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, United States — A Kentucky House race decided by just 100 votes is headed for a recount. The Jefferson County Board of Elections will recount ballots in the House District 36 race after Republican incumbent John Hodgson narrowly defeated Democrat William Woody Zorn in the November 3 election, the Jefferson County Clerk's Office said.
Unofficial results show Hodgson received 10,389 votes to Zorn's 10,289, a margin of 100 votes, less than 0.5 percent. Under Kentucky law, an automatic recount is required when a candidate loses by no more than half of 1 percent of the votes cast in the race.
County Clerk David Yates said in a news release on Tuesday that the recount will take place at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, November 16, at the Jefferson County Clerk's Office election warehouse. Earlier reporting said the clerk's office has to certify its election results and submit them to the Secretary of State by noon Tuesday, after which the Kentucky State Board of Elections is expected to send the clerk's office a letter requiring the recount, which has to begin by Tuesday, November 17.
The race is one of Jefferson County's tightest. Information about the recount and its results will be released as it becomes available.
