总统唐纳德·特朗普周三重申了关于选举舞弊的虚假说法，指责民主党州长凯蒂·霍布斯协助操纵了该州2022年州长选举，因为他试图提升共和党州长候选人安迪·比格斯的支持度。比格斯是特朗普长期的盟友，曾协助挑战2020年总统选举的结果。
President Donald Trump revived false claims of election fraud Wednesday, accusing Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs of helping rig the state’s 2022 gubernatorial election as he sought to boost Republican gubernatorial nominee Andy Biggs a longtime ally who helped challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election.
特朗普在莫哈维县共和党据点布尔黑德城的一次集会上重提了2022年州长选举期间马里科帕县投票机出现的问题。他错误地暗示这些故障是有针对性地针对共和党选民的，并导致当时的共和党候选人卡里·莱克在与霍布斯的竞选中落败。
Trump revisited voting machine problems in Maricopa County during the 2022 gubernatorial election at a rally in Bullhead City, a Republican stronghold in Mohave County. He falsely suggested the malfunctions were deliberately targeted at Republican voters and cost then-GOP nominee Kari Lake the race against Hobbs.
“她赢得了那次选举……该死的机器在共和党地区坏了。这些机器是故意坏的，你根本无法投票，而凯蒂·霍布斯与此有很大关系，”特朗普对支持者说。“那是一次被操纵的选举，真是可耻。”但这些说法缺乏依据。虽然2022年选举日亚利桑那州有些选票打印机出现了技术问题，但调查和法院裁决未发现证据表明这些故障是故意策划以压制共和党选票，或改变了选举结果。
“She won that election…The damn machines were broken in Republican areas. They were broken purposely, and you couldn’t vote and Katie Hobbs had a lot to do with it,” Trump told supporters. “What a rigged election that was and it’s a shame.”But the claims are unfounded. While some ballot printers experienced technical problems in Arizona on Election Day in 2022, investigations and court rulings found no evidence that the malfunctions were intentionally orchestrated to suppress Republican votes or that they changed the election’s outcome.
莱克多次对她输给霍布斯的结果提出质疑，但她的法律努力未能推翻选举结果。
Lake repeatedly challenged her loss to Hobbs, but her legal efforts failed to overturn the results.
特朗普还未点名地赞扬了莱克，称她“赢得了那次选举”并且“可能也赢了另一次”，显然是在指她2024年参议院竞选的失败。
Trump also praised Lake, without naming her, saying she “won that election” and “probably won the other one too,” an apparent reference to her unsuccessful 2024 Senate bid.
特朗普的言论让选举否认主义再次成为焦点，距离11月3日的中期选举不到三周时间。此时，比格斯正试图在全国最受关注的州长选举之一中击败霍布斯。
The remarks put election denialism back in the spotlight less than three weeks before the Nov. 3 midterms, as Biggs seeks to unseat Hobbs in one of the country’s most closely watched gubernatorial contests.
总统的出现也重新将注意力聚焦在比格斯在特朗普推翻其2020年大选失利前总统乔·拜登的失败努力中的角色。比格斯曾是保守派众议院自由党团的前主席，他在2021年1月6日国会山遭袭击后，投票反对认证来自亚利桑那州及其他摇摆州的选举人票。
The president’s appearance also puts renewed attention on Biggs’ role in Trump’s unsuccessful effort to overturn his 2020 election loss to former President Joe Biden. Biggs, the former chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, voted against certifying electoral votes from Arizona and other battleground states following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
他还支持一项旨在使拜登在多个州获胜的选举结果无效的诉讼。尽管作出了这些努力，但比格斯最近一直抵制对他是选举否认者的描述。
He also supported a lawsuit seeking to invalidate election results in several states Biden won. Despite those efforts, Biggs has more recently resisted characterizations of himself as an election denier.
亚利桑那州已成为共和党持续拥抱质疑特朗普2020年失败的候选人的焦点。该党的州务卿和司法部长提名人亚历山大·科洛丁和沃伦·彼得森分别也曾挑战选举结果。
Arizona has become a focal point in the Republican Party’s continued embrace of candidates who questioned Trump’s 2020 defeat. The party’s nominees for secretary of state and attorney general, Alexander Kolodin and Warren Petersen, respectively, also challenged the election results.
此次集会恰逢前总统贝拉克·奥巴马在霍布斯的连任竞选中背书她一天后进行，为她在这场日益激烈的竞争中增添了一位高调的民主党支持者。
The rally comes one day after former President Barack Obama endorsed Hobbs in her reelection bid, adding another high-profile Democrat to her list of supporters in this increasingly competitive race.
根据MS NOW数据合作伙伴FiftyPlusOne的最新民调平均值，霍布斯以49%对40.8%的8个百分点领先优势领先于比格斯。
Hobbs holds an 8-point lead, 49% to 40.8%, over Biggs, according to the latest polling average from MS NOW’s data partner FiftyPlusOne.
特朗普的访问是其已在此周前往俄亥俄州和阿拉斯加进行的激进竞选冲刺的一部分，共和党正在此努力维持对国会的控制。
Trump’s visit is part of an aggressive campaign blitz that has already taken him to Ohio Alaska this week as Republicans fight to maintain control of Congress.
亚利桑那州标志着特朗普最近在传统共和党州的竞选站点的显著偏离。他在2020年曾以微弱劣势输掉该摇摆州，但四年后又赢得了该州。
wArizona marks a notable departure from Trump’s recent campaign stops in traditionally Republican states. He narrowly lost the battleground state in 2020 before winning it four years later.
