PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s most populous county has certified its primary election results, setting off the process for a recount in a tight Democratic contest in the 3rd Congressional District. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors signed off on the results Monday. Yassamin Ansari and Raquel Terán are separated by 42 votes in the race. Arizona law requires an automatic recount when the margin is .5 percentage points or less. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes has confirmed the need for a recount and a Maricopa County Superior Court judge has authorized it. Whoever wins will face Republican Jeff Zink in the November general election. Elsewhere in Arizona, certification of primary election results largely went smoothly.
