阿拉巴马州选民早在华盛顿特区官员开始公布选举结果数小时前就知晓了周二晚间选举的结果，尽管两地官方的投票关闭时间完全一致。
华盛顿特区和阿拉巴马州均按计划于周二晚间东部时间晚8点正式关闭投票站。阿拉巴马州在约一小时内就统计完了绝大多数选票，美联社分别于当晚8点40分和9点31分公布了选举结果。
与此同时，华盛顿特区的官员直到当晚10点47分才开始计票，此时美联社刚刚宣布众议员巴里·摩尔赢得阿拉巴马州共和党初选——这是该州竞争最激烈的一场选举。
包括加州和华盛顿特区在内的由民主党主导的地区遭到了共和党人和选举诚信倡导者的批评，他们认为漫长的计票过程会削弱公众信心，导致主要选举结果在选举日数天甚至数周后仍未出炉。这些地区的选举官员为计票进度进行了辩护，指出邮寄选票规则、邮戳截止日期和核验要求是确保每张合法选票都被计入的必要举措。

华盛顿特区的首批计票结果出现延误，因为漫长的排队时间导致部分投票站在原定的晚8点关闭时间过后仍在运营。华盛顿特区部分投票站的长队迫使该地区在正式投票结束后近三小时才启动计票流程。
大量邮寄选票以及该地区推行的排名选择投票制进一步拖延了计票进度，这种选举方式可能需要多轮计票。

“选举夜收到2万到3万张邮寄选票，根本不可能在当晚完成处理，”华盛顿特区选举委员会执行主任莫妮卡·埃文斯6月9日对当地媒体表示。
截至本文发布时，投票结束超过一天的华盛顿特区仅统计了不到70%的选票。阿拉巴马州周二的选举约有40万人投票，而同一晚华盛顿特区的投票人数仅约10万张。

华盛顿特区的计票速度在社交媒体上遭到批评。
“现在已经晚上10点半了，投票本该在两个半小时前结束，华盛顿特区选举委员会这简直是一场灾难，”中间派民主党人本地组织“DMV新自由派”周二晚间在X平台上针对该市尚未开始计票的消息写道。

“在哥伦比亚特区，昨天选举的选票仅统计了64%，而且实际选票数量并没有那么多，”保守派评论员拜伦·约克周三上午11点19分写道。

Deep-red state wrapped race calls before DC started counting, despite same poll deadline

Voters in Alabama knew the outcomes of their Tuesday night elections hours before officials in D.C. began releasing results despite both jurisdictions officially closing their polls at the same time.
Both D.C. and Alabama were scheduled to officially close their polling stations at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday night. Alabama counted the vast majority of its votes within about an hour, with the Associated Press calling them at 8:40 p.m. and 9:31 p.m., respectively.
Officials in D.C., meanwhile, only began counting votes at 10:47 p.m., around the time the Associated Press declared Rep. Barry Moore the winner of Alabama’s GOP primary – the most hotly contested race in the state.
Democratic-led jurisdictions including California and Washington, D.C., have faced criticism from Republicans and election-integrity advocates who argue that prolonged ballot counting undermines public confidence and leaves major races unresolved for days or even weeks after Election Day. Election officials in those jurisdictions have defended the timelines, pointing to mail-in ballot rules, postmark deadlines and verification requirements they say are necessary to ensure every lawful vote is counted.
CALIFORNIA’S SLUGGISH VOTE COUNTING RIPPED ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM: ‘EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING’

D.C.’s first results were delayed after long lines kept some polling places open past the scheduled 8 p.m. close. Long lines at some D.C. polling stations forced the district to wait almost three hours after polls officially closed to start the counting process.
Further delaying the count was the large number of mail ballots and the district’s move to ranked-choice voting, an election method that can require multiple rounds of counting.

“When you get [20,000 to] 30,000 ballots on election night through the mail, it is not possible to process that number on election night,” D.C. Board of Elections executive director Monica Evans told a local media outlet on June 9.
As of publishing, less than 70% of ballots have been counted in D.C. more than a day after voting began. Roughly 400,000 people voted in Alabama’s Tuesday elections, compared to only around 100,000 ballots cast in D.C. that same night.

D.C.’s pace of vote counting drew criticism on social media.
“It’s now 10:30 pm, polls were supposed to close 2.5 hours ago, this is an absolute disaster from DCBOE,” DMV New Liberals, a local group of centrist Democrats, wrote to X on Tuesday night in response to news that the city hadn’t begun counting votes yet.

“In the District of Columbia, just 64% of votes from yesterday’s election have been counted. And there aren’t even that many of them,” conservative pundit Byron York wrote at 11:19 a.m. on Wednesday.
The D.C. Board of Elections did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
