一家供应商的失误导致亚利桑那州马里科帕县3126张选票提前六天寄出，引发了舞弊指控。马里科帕县选举官员表示，这些选票仍然有效。以下是关键细节：网上流传的一段视频显示，唐纳德·特朗普总统说：“马里科帕县非法寄出了数千张选票，被抓现行了，现在他们却说是失误。”该帖文的配文引用了特朗普的评论，称“这是欺诈行为”和“马里科帕县是一个非常、非常不诚实的县”，并补充说在即将到来的11月中期选举中，马里科帕县需要受到密切关注。
A vendor's mistake caused 3,126 ballots for Maricopa County, Arizona, residents to be mailed six days early, prompting accusations of wrongdoing. Maricopa election officials say the ballots remain valid. Here are the key details: Posts online shared a clip of President Donald Trump saying, “Maricopa sent out thousands of ballots illegally and they got caught and now they’re saying it was an error.”
马里科帕县记录官办公室在10月4日的新闻稿中表示，该县的供应商、选票印刷商Runbeck Election Services（伦贝克选举服务公司）错误地在10月1日寄出了3126张中期选举提前投票选票，比原定的10月7日开始寄送和提前投票的日期早了几天。
Captions on the post quote Trump’s comments, “it’s crooked” and “Maricopa is a very, very dishonest county,” adding that Maricopa needs to be closely watched in the upcoming November midterms.
该县的声明说：“伦贝克的错误仅影响了寄送时间。正确的选票已寄给正确的选民。”声明补充称，马里科帕县检察官办公室认定这些选票仍然有效。
The Maricopa County Recorder’s Office said in an October 4 press release that the county’s vendor, ballot printer Runbeck Election Services, had mistakenly mailed 3,126 early midterm election ballots on October 1, days before the scheduled October 7 start of mailing and early voting. “Runbeck's error affected only the timing of the mailing. The correct ballots were mailed to the correct voters,” the county’s statement said, adding that the Maricopa County Attorney's Office determined the ballots remain valid.
伦贝克公司在10月4日发布的声明中表示，一托盘因需要非自动化邮政处理而被单独存放的选票，被错误地与其他邮件一起发出。该公司称这些选票有效，是根据授权的选民数据制作，并寄给了申请它们的选民。记录官办公室表示，虽然未授权提前寄送，但选票本身是正确的。
In a statement released on October 4, Runbeck said a pallet of ballots, held apart because they needed non-automated postal handling, was mistakenly released with other mail. It said the ballots were valid, produced from authorized voter data and were sent to the voters who requested them. While it did not authorize the early mailing, the Recorder's Office said the ballots themselves were correct.
亚利桑那州法律未涉及意外提前寄送的情况。《亚利桑那州修订法典》第16-542条C款规定，如果记录官办公室或其他选举官员在选举日前31天以上收到邮寄选票申请，应在选举日前不早于27天、不晚于24天寄出选票。
Arizona law does not address accidental early mailing. Arizona Revised Statute 16-542, section C states that if the Recorder’s office or other election officers receive a request for a mail ballot more than 31 days before election day, it should mail the ballot no earlier than 27 days and no later than 24 days before the election.
记录官办公室通讯主任朱迪·基恩将路透社引向该办公室和伦贝克公司发布的声明。
The Recorder's Office Communications Director, Judy Keane, referred Reuters to the published statements from the office and Runbeck.
裁决 缺乏背景信息。选票确实因供应商错误而提前寄出，官员表示这些选票有效。
VERDICT Missing context. The ballots did go out early due to a vendor error and officials say the ballots are valid.
