The race to represent Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District is not yet settled. More than a week after Election Day, only 133 votes separate the candidates, with Republican challenger Martha McSally edging out incumbent Democrat Ron Barber. The race may end up in a recount. There are only 200 votes left to tally, and provisional ballots are not expected to be declared valid.

State law requires a recount if the margin of victory is less than 200 votes. Wednesday, officials found sealed envelopes with 213 uncounted early ballots, all of which Pima County election officials declared to be valid.

A printing error for a school district race resulted in corrected ballots for that race only being sent to voters who mistakenly placed their complete ballots in the same envelopes sent for the corrected ballots. The mistake was not discovered until those envelopes were opened Wednesday.
