阿拉斯加州众议院五场选战仍未定胜负 两场仅差五票

阿拉斯加州选举部门11月12日晚间公布的最新计票数据显示,州众议院至少五场选战仍未分出胜负,其中两场在模拟排序复选计票中仅差五票,胜负要等到11月18日官方排序复选计票后才能确定。
马塔努斯卡-苏西特纳自治市镇的两场选战最为胶着:第30选区共和党候选人道格·马西以五票领先现任共和党众议员凯文·麦凯布,该选区约160张选票尚未计入;第29选区现任众议员加勒特·尼尔森以五票领先共和党挑战者史蒂夫·梅纳德。
瓦西拉所在的第27选区,现任众议员埃莱克西·摩尔落后挑战者斯蒂芬·赖特43票;鹰河第24选区和荷马第6选区同样胜负未定。
选举部门12日新增计入6000多张选票,多数来自马塔努斯卡-苏西特纳地区。按州法,海外缺席选票最迟可在11月18日寄达,选举部门将于当天进行官方排序复选计票。
媒体使用开源计票程序对选举部门定期更新的数据进行非官方模拟计票,初步结果显示多场选战差距极小,最终结果仍存在变数。
Five Alaska State House Races Still Undecided, Two Separated by Five Votes
The latest vote counts released by the Alaska Division of Elections on the evening of November 12 show that at least five state House races remain undecided, with two of them separated by just five votes in simulated ranked-choice tabulations. The outcomes will not be known until the official ranked-choice tabulation on November 18.
The two closest races are in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. In District 30, Republican candidate Doug Massie leads incumbent Republican Rep. Kevin McCabe by five votes, with about 160 ballots in the district still uncounted. In District 29, incumbent Rep. Garret Nelson leads Republican challenger Steve Menard by five votes.
In District 27, which includes Wasilla, incumbent Rep. Elexie Moore trails challenger Stephen Wright by 43 votes. District 24 in Eagle River and District 6 in Homer are also undecided.
The division added more than 6,000 ballots to the count on November 12, most of them from the Matanuska-Susitna area. Under state law, overseas absentee ballots may arrive as late as November 18, and the division will conduct the official ranked-choice tabulation that day.
News organizations have run unofficial simulated tabulations using open-source software on the division's regularly updated data. The preliminary results show several races are extremely close, and the final outcomes remain uncertain.
