Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs has defeated Republican Kari Lake in Arizona’s race for governor.
The result is a rebuke of Ms Lake, who has peddled the false claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 US election.
In her victory statement, Ms Hobbs said that “in this moment of division” she would work for everyone in the state.
Ms Lake appeared to suggest that the result was incorrect, and that some votes for her had not been counted.
Elsewhere, almost a week after votes were cast, the race to control the House of Representatives remains tight.
Republicans must win at least 218 seats to claim a majority in the House of Representatives, a prospect that has sharply narrowed.
The party has currently won 215 seats while Democrats have won 211, according to race projections from CBS News.
In a midterm election that has further highlighted the stark partisan divisions in America, Ms Hobbs called for unity, saying she would work for those Arizonans who did not vote for her.
