特朗普悬赏100万美元举报选举舞弊 泰勒·佩吉 华盛顿——随着美国总统唐纳德·特朗普敦促选民在11月的中期选举中支持共和党人，他频繁抛出经济激励措施，并发出关于选举舞弊的毫无根据的警告。10月26日，他将这两大偏好结合在了一起。
Trump dangles US$1 million reward for reporting voter fraud Tyler Pager WASHINGTON – As US President Donald Trump has implored voters to support Republicans in November’s midterm elections, he has frequently dangled financial incentives and issued unfounded warnings about voter fraud. On Oct 26, he married those two passions.
“任何人举报过去选举或即将到来的2026年中期选举中的选举舞弊，在制造舞弊者被逮捕并定罪后，将获得100万美元（约128万新元）奖励！”特朗普在社交媒体上写道。
“Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid US$1 million (S$1.28 million) upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud!”Trump wrote on social media.
白宫没有立即回应关于所谓奖励资金来源，以及美国人应如何举报舞弊指控的问题。
The White House did not immediately respond to questions about where the money would come from for the ostensible rewards or how Americans are supposed to report fraud accusations.
该声明反映了特朗普利用职权影响中期选举结果的行动又向前迈进了一步。
The announcement reflected another step in Trump’s gathering campaign to use the powers of his office to influence the outcome of the midterms.
多年来，这位总统一直在攻击美国选举的公正性，而在他的第二个任期内，他的政府试图对由各州监管的投票过程施加更多控制。
For years, the President has attacked the integrity of US elections, and in his second term, his administration has tried to assert more control over the voting process, which is overseen by states.
10月早些时候，特朗普采取行动，预先对阿拉斯加州参议员选举的认证提出挑战，前提是共和党候选人落败。
Earlier in October, Trump moved to pre-emptively challenge the certification of Alaska’s Senate election if the Republican candidate loses.
总统及其司法部还依靠广泛但毫无根据的选举舞弊指控，试图迫使加利福尼亚等州搁置数千张他们声称寄给非公民的邮寄选票。
The President and his Justice Department have also leaned on expansive but unsupported claims of voter fraud in trying to force states like California to set aside thousands of mail ballots they claim were sent to non-citizens.
与此同时，随着共和党在国会保持控制权面临日益陡峭的困境，特朗普加大了对选民的经济激励力度。
At the same time, Trump has stepped up the financial incentives for voters as Republicans face increasingly steep odds of keeping control of Congress.
《纽约时报》和锡耶纳大学的一项全国民调显示，特朗普的支持率在10月跌至新低，仅有36%的可能投票者表示认可他的工作表现。
A national poll from The New York Times and Siena University found Trump’s approval rating hit a new low in October, with just 36% of likely voters saying they approved of his job performance.
可能投票者表示，在他们的国会选区，他们倾向于民主党候选人而非共和党候选人，差距达11个百分点。
Likely voters said they preferred Democratic candidates over Republicans by 11 percentage points in their congressional districts.
在过去两个月里，特朗普在竞选集会上签署赦免令，发放500美元的“奥巴马医改”退款支票，并向老年人直接存入90美元以抵消医疗保险保费。
Over the past two months, Trump has signed pardons at campaign rallies, sent US$500 Obamacare “refund” checks and issued US$90 direct deposits to seniors to offset Medicare premiums.
不过，核心奖励是所谓的“特朗普红利”，特朗普在9月于达拉斯举行的共和党集会上宣布了这一计划——他坚持要求党内举办这次集会。
The central reward, though, is the so-called “Trump Dividend”, which Trump announced at the Republican gathering he insisted his party throw in September in Dallas.
特朗普承诺，如果共和党保持对国会的控制权，将向每位美国成年人发放5000美元。这一提案招致两党批评，成本将超过1万亿美元，且很可能需要国会批准。
Trump has promised US$5,000 for every American adult if Republicans retain control of Congress, a proposal that has drawn bipartisan criticism and would cost more than US$1 trillion. It would also likely require congressional approval.
10月，特朗普宣布了一项新的2500万美元举报人激励计划，旨在提供信息以打击欺诈行为。
In October, Trump announced a new US$25 million whistleblower incentive programme to provide information to combat fraud.
联邦政府已有多个举报欺诈的渠道，而新计划引发担忧，因为特朗普表示将由他亲自决定谁获得奖金。纽约时报 本文最初刊登于《纽约时报》。
There are already multiple avenues for reporting fraud to the federal government, and the new programme raised concerns because Trump said he would personally determine who received the money. NYTIMES This article originally appeared in The New York Times.
