BREAKING: Attorney General-elect Kris Mayes retained her lead over Abe Hamadeh in a recount in one of the tightest races ever in Arizona history.
Wins by state schools superintendent-elect Tom Horne, a Republican, over incumbent Democrat Kathy Hoffman and Liz Harris over fellow Republican Julie Willoughby in Legislative District 13 in the Southeast Valley also were affirmed in the recount.The race for state attorney general had the narrowest margin heading into the recount, with Democrat Mayes winning by a 511-vote margin, or 0.03 percentage points, over Trump-endorsed Republican Hamadeh in the initial tally.
The other two races were nowhere near as close but fell within the 0.5% percent margin that a new state law requires for an automatic recount. Horne led incumbent Hoffman by 8,967 votes in the initial result from Nov. 8. That's a lead of 0.36 percentage points. The recount tally had Horne winning by 9,188 votes.
In Legislative District 13 in the southeast Valley, Republican House candidate Liz Harris held a 270-vote lead over fellow Republican Julie Willoughby. That's a margin of 0.4 percentage points. The recount tally had Harris winning by 275 votes. Lawmakers widened the threshold for an automatic recount after the 2020 presidential election, when Joe Biden edged out then-President Donald Trump by 10,457 votes, or 0.3 percentage points.This story will be updated.
