特朗普本人今年在佛罗里达的选举中已经通过邮件投票两次。唐纳德特朗普总统周一继续在中期选举之前对邮件投票散布毫无根据的怀疑,尽管他敦促共和党人以任何方式参与投票。
Trump himself has voted by mail twice in Florida elections this year. President Donald Trump continued on Monday to sow unfounded doubt about mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections, despite encouraging Republicans to vote any way they can.
据ABC新闻确认,特朗普的讲话是在周一与2020年选举否认者蒂娜·彼得斯会面时做出的。彼得斯是科罗拉多州梅萨县前县 clerk,在她寻找2020年选举欺诈证据时,因涉嫌破坏州投票系统的阴谋而被州法院定罪。
Trump’s remarks came amid a meeting at the White House with the 2020 election denier Tina Peters on Monday, sources confirmed to ABC News. Peters, the former county clerk of Mesa County, Colorado, was convicted on state charges in a scheme to breach the state’s voting systems as she hunted for evidence of election fraud in 2020.
该州的民主州长贾里德·波利斯今年年初在特朗普总统多次呼吁下,批准了彼得斯的减刑请求。彼得斯于6月份出狱。
The state's Democratic governor, Jared Polis, earlier this year granted Peters clemency following repeated calls from the president urging the state to let her go. Peters was released from prison in June.
周一特朗普在前往内布拉纳州参加政治集会途中,在白宫南草坪接受记者采访时,就他告诉共和党人通过邮件投票的问题进行了辩解,尽管他多次声称邮件投票存在欺诈。"不,无论是通过邮件还是亲自投票,我更希望他们亲自投票。但如果他们想通过邮件投票,也可以,因为我们似乎别无选择,"特朗普说着,又未提供任何证据就声称邮件投票充满了作弊行为。"
During a gaggle on the White House South Lawn en route to Nebraska on Monday, where he attended a political rally, Trump pushed back when asked why he was telling Republicans to vote by mail despite his repeated assertions that it is fraudulent. "No, vote by mail or vote in person. I'd rather have a vote in person. But they can vote by mail if they want, because we seem to have no choice," Trump said, going on to claim, without providing evidence, that mail-in voting is rife with cheating.
我们所关注的是,邮件投票中存在很多作弊行为——不仅是似乎存在,而是确实存在,"特朗普说道,并指示记者们调查加利福尼亚州的选举。"特朗普又在胡说加利福尼亚的事了,"加利福尼亚州州长贾文·纽森的发言人6月份就在回应特朗普对该州初选做出的毫无根据的欺诈指控时这样说。
"What we're concerned about is there seems to be a lot of- not seems to be, there is a lot of cheating in vote by mail," Trump said, adding a directive to reporters that they need to examine elections in California. "Trump is lying about California again," Gov. Gavin Newsom's press office said back in June after Trump made baseless accusations of fraud in the state’s primary election.
特朗普已敦促选民在关键的中期选举前通过邮件投票,这些选举将决定国会的控制权,最终决定他作为总统的最后两年的方向。
Trump has encouraged voters to cast their ballots by mail ahead of the critical midterm cycle, which will determine control of Congress and, ultimately, the direction of his final two years as president.
“请尽早投票,可以通过邮寄方式投票,也可以在11月3日选举日当天亲自前往投票站。这样我们就能取得一场压倒性的中期选举胜利,彻底击败那些极端左翼的民主党人,”特朗普在10月3日发布于社交媒体的视频中说道。
"Vote early, vote by mail or vote in person on Election Day, November 3rd, so we can defeat the radical left Dumocrats in a midterm victory that is too big to rig," Trump said in a video posted to his social media on October 3.
今年,特朗普已在佛罗里达州的两次选举中均通过邮寄方式投票,包括最近举行的该州初选。他在任期间也曾提前投票,比如2024年的佛罗里达州共和党初选。
Trump has voted by mail twice in Florida elections this year, including in the state's recent primary election. He’s also voted early in elections while he was in office, including during the Florida Republican primary in 2024.
今年,特朗普政府还就邮寄选票的相关规定提起法律诉讼;上个月,政府向美国最高法院提交了紧急上诉,试图促使新的邮政服务邮寄选票规则立即生效。不过最高法院驳回了该上诉,各州得以按原计划在中期选举前继续发放邮寄选票。
His administration this year has been involved in legal challenges to mail-in ballot rules, including the filing last month of an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to immediately implement new U.S. Postal Service mail ballot rules for November. The Supreme Court rejected that appeal, clearing the way for states to continue sending out mail-in ballots as planned ahead of the midterms.
周一,特朗普借亚利桑那州马里科帕县发生的一起事件大做文章。当地官员周日称,一家承包商不慎在原定寄送日期的六天前,将3126张提前投票的选票寄出。
Trump seized on Monday upon an incident in Maricopa County, Arizona, where officials said Sunday that a contractor accidentally mailed 3,126 early ballots six days before they were supposed to be sent out.
马里科帕县选举记录办公室在声明中称,此次失误并未对任何选民造成不利影响;“经与县检察官办公室协商后认定,这些选票依然有效,无需作废或重新发放。”
In a statement, the Maricopa County Recorder's Office said no voters were adversely affected and "upon consultation with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, it was determined that the ballots remain valid and do not need to be voided or reissued."
即便如此,在回应记者提问时,特朗普仍表示整个国家都“应该感到羞愧”。“亚利桑那州的马里科帕县居然错发了数千张选票。他们真该感到羞愧,”特朗普说道。
Still, the president, who was responding to a reporter's question, said that the country should "be ashamed of themselves." "So Maricopa just sent out thousands of ballots in error. Maricopa County in Arizona.
“顺便说一句,根本没有任何失误。这一点你们都清楚,对吧?”他补充道。他还称:“马里科帕县是个极其不诚实的地方。”
And they have to be ashamed of themselves," Trump said. "By the way, there were no errors. You know that, right?" he said. He added: "Maricopa is a very, very dishonest county."
