亚利桑那州第27立法选区第二席313票差距触发自动重计：芬克33731票对里韦罗33418票、差0.29个百分点，霍华德已锁定另一席
亚利桑那州马里科帕县菲尼克斯市消息，亚利桑那州议会的最终党派格局已定，但州众议院一个席位仍未决出：两名共和党现任议员将进入自动重计。据凤凰城当地媒体 11 月 13 日报道，该席位位于马里科帕县西北部的第 27 立法选区，选区涵盖菲尼克斯、格伦代尔与皮奥里亚的部分地区。
马里科帕县周三公布最终非正式结果，民主党人黛博拉·霍华德以 37.3% 的得票率胜出。霍华德是 11 月 3 日大选中该选区两个众议院席位的唯一民主党候选人，已锁定其中一席。
第二席之争在现任共和党众议员丽莎·芬克与托尼·里韦罗之间展开，差距落在 2022 年州法要求重计的范围内。该法规定，任何差距小于 0.5 个百分点的选举都须对全部选票进行全面重计。芬克目前以 33731 票对 33418 票领先里韦罗 313 票，差 0.29 个百分点。该选区共投出 10.7 万多张选票。
里韦罗已于 11 月 6 日承认败选，向霍华德与芬克表示祝贺。他在社交媒体上写道，过去两年为第 27 选区服务是真正的荣幸，并感谢义工与支持者一路以来的付出。
报道说，重计很少改变选举结果。亚利桑那州近年最受关注的例子是 2022 年总检察长选举，民主党人克里斯·梅斯与共和党人亚伯·哈马德的对决中，哈马德在重计中多得 231 票，但梅斯仍以 280 票之差、在 250 多万张选票中胜出；差异大多源于皮纳尔县约 500 票的人为漏计。
全州范围内，民主党已在参议院取得 30 席对 20 席的绝对多数，在众议院取得 37 席对 23 席的优势。2027 年 1 月新一届议会开幕时，民主党将 60 年来首次同时控制参议院、众议院与州长职位。第 27 选区的重计将决定众议院的最终名单，但结果不会改变民主党的多数地位；该选区选民将由霍华德以及芬克或里韦罗中的一人代表。
Arizona Legislative District 27's Second Seat Heads to an Automatic Recount on a 313-Vote Gap: Fink Leads Rivero 33,731 to 33,418, a 0.29-Point Margin, While Howard Has Secured the Other Seat
PHOENIX, Maricopa County, Arizona — The final partisan balance of the Arizona Legislature is set, but one state House seat remains undecided as two Republican incumbents head into an automatic recount in a northwest Maricopa County district, Phoenix-area media reported on November 13. Legislative District 27 covers parts of Phoenix, Glendale and Peoria.
Maricopa County released its final unofficial results Wednesday, showing Democrat Deborah Howard winning 37.3 percent of the vote. Howard was the only Democrat in the November 3 general election for the district's two House seats and has secured one of them.
The contest for the second seat between incumbent Republican Representatives Lisa Fink and Tony Rivero falls within the margin that requires a recount under a 2022 state law. That statute mandates a full recount of all ballots in any race decided by less than 0.5 percentage points. Fink currently leads Rivero by 313 votes, 33,731 to 33,418, a difference of 0.29 percentage points. Just over 107,000 ballots were cast in the race.
Rivero conceded the race on November 6, congratulating Howard and Fink on their victories. It has been a true honor serving LD 27 over the last two years, he wrote on social media. A huge thank you to our volunteers and supporters for your dedication every step of the way.
Recounts rarely change the outcome of an election. The most prominent recent example in Arizona came in the 2022 attorney general race between Democrat Kris Mayes and Republican Abe Hamadeh, in which Hamadeh gained 231 votes in the recount but Mayes still prevailed by 280 votes out of more than 2.5 million ballots cast. Most of the discrepancy was traced to an approximately 500-vote undercount in Pinal County caused by human error.
Statewide, Democrats have secured a 30-20 supermajority in the Senate and a 37-23 advantage in the House. When the Legislature convenes in January 2027, Democrats will hold the Senate, House and governorship simultaneously for the first time in 60 years. The recount in District 27 will determine the final House roster, though the outcome will not alter the Democratic majority. The district's voters will be represented by Howard and either Fink or Rivero when the new session begins.
