纽约州参议院第 43 选区将自动重计:民主党候选人兰德以 335 票领先,现任者阿什比尚未认输,全区已投逾 12.1 万票

纽约州参议院第 43 选区选举仍然接近到足以触发自动重计,该选区包括伦斯勒县以及奥尔巴尼县与华盛顿县的部分地区。
民主党候选人德文·兰德周四表示,其竞选团队核算后显示他以 335 票领先,全区共投出超过 12.1 万张选票,他据此宣布获胜,并说领先幅度已超过尚待计票的可能票数,这些待计票均在华盛顿县。
州法规定,票差小于 0.5% 的选举触发自动重计,部分奥尔巴尼县邮寄选票的最终到达期限在下周。
共和党现任州参议员杰克·阿什比 2022 年首次赢得该席位,他尚未认输,周四在声明中表示希望尊重人工重计程序、将在重计完成后进一步评论,并说确保每一票准确计入正是他坚信选举完整性的原因。
重计尚未被正式宣布,预计将于本月晚些时候开始。
New York Senate District 43 Heads to an Automatic Recount as Democrat Devin Lander Leads by 335 Votes of More Than 121,000 Cast and Incumbent Jake Ashby Has Not Conceded
The race for New York 43rd State Senate District seat remains close enough to trigger an automatic recount, in a district that encompasses Rensselaer County as well as portions of Albany and Washington counties.
Democratic candidate Devin Lander said on Thursday that his campaign had crunched the numbers and that he leads by 335 votes in an election that garnered more than 121,000 ballots, and he declared himself the winner, saying the lead was more than the possible votes left to be counted, which were all in Washington County.
An automatic recount of the votes is triggered under state law in any race with a margin of less than half a percent, and the final deadline for some Albany County mail-in ballots to arrive is the following week.
Republican incumbent Jake Ashby, who initially won the seat in 2022 and has represented the district since, has not yet conceded, and in a statement released Thursday he said he wants to honour the hand recount and will have further comment upon its completion.
Though the recount has not been officially called, it is expected to begin later this month.
