特朗普总统周五再次呼吁将民主党参议员候选人玛丽·佩尔托拉从阿拉斯加选票上移除并对其提起诉讼，在选举日前四天加倍指控选举舞弊。
President Donald Trump renewed his calls Friday for Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola to be removed from Alaska’s ballot and prosecuted, doubling down on his accusations of election fraud four days before Election Day.
“这是最高级别的选民欺诈，”特朗普在佛罗里达州代托纳比奇的集会上表示，他当时正在为共和党候选人助选，包括参选州长的联邦众议员拜伦·唐纳兹和参议员阿什利·穆迪，以备战周二的中期选举。
“This is voter fraud at the highest level,” Trump said at a rally in Daytona Beach, Florida, where he was campaigning for Republican candidates, including gubernatorial nominee Rep. Byron Donalds and Sen. Ashley Moody, ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections.
“她应该被从选票上移除并遭到起诉，”特朗普说，并补充称最终决定权在司法部长托德·布兰奇手中。
“She should be removed from the ballot and prosecuted,” Trump said, adding that Attorney General Todd Blanche would ultimately make the decision.
特朗普再次指控佩尔托拉涉嫌参与一项计划，招募一名与共和党现任参议员丹·沙利文同名的候选人，企图混淆选民并分流共和党现任议员的选票。他并未提供直接证据将佩尔托拉与该行动联系起来。
Trump again accused Peltola of involvement in an alleged scheme to recruit a candidate with the same name as Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in an effort to confuse voters and draw votes away from the Republican incumbent. He offered no evidence directly linking Peltola to the effort.
总统的言论发表数小时后，阿拉斯加联邦检察官确认已就相关指控展开刑事调查，并寻求初步禁令以保存和隔离这场备受关注竞选中的特定选票。该请求针对的是将丹尼尔·J·沙利文二世排在首位的选票，这位退休教师与共和党现任议员同名同姓。联邦检察官还作为其挑战选举某些方面的民事诉讼的一部分，请求加快取证程序。
The president’s comments came hours after federal prosecutors in Alaska confirmed a criminal investigation into the allegations and sought a preliminary injunction to preserve and segregate certain ballots in the closely watched race. The request targets ballots ranking Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., a retired teacher who shares a first and last name with the Republican incumbent. Federal prosecutors also requested expedited discovery as part of their civil lawsuit challenging aspects of the election.
这番言论是特朗普一系列攻击的最新表现，他曾多次指控佩尔托拉存在选举不当行为，并曾因涉嫌上述计划呼吁对其提起诉讼。
The remarks were the latest in a series of attacks by Trump, who has repeatedly accused Peltola of election wrongdoing and previously called for her prosecution over the alleged scheme.
事态发展源于《纽约时报》周三发表的一项调查，该调查发现，与佩尔托拉竞选团队和民主党参议员竞选委员会结盟的民主党操盘手曾努力招募包括丹尼尔·J·沙利文在内的候选人，试图分流共和党现任议员的选票。
The developments follow a New York Times investigation published Wednesday that found Democratic operatives aligned with Peltola’s campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee worked to recruit candidates, including Daniel J. Sullivan, in an effort to draw votes away from the Republican incumbent.
《纽约时报》援引短信、文件和采访，其中包括对佩尔托拉前竞选经理埃莉莎·里奥斯的采访。佩尔托拉否认知情，她的竞选团队否认参与其中。该报报道称，未发现证据表明招募行动本身违法。
The Times cited text messages, documents and interviews, including with Peltola’s former campaign manager, Elisa Rios. Peltola has denied knowledge of the effort, and her campaign has denied involvement. The newspaper reported finding no evidence that the recruitment effort itself was illegal.
特朗普多次将第二个萨利文的参选描述为选举欺诈。他此前承认曾指示司法部提起诉讼，寻求阻止选举结果认证，前提是共和党现任议员落后票数少于另一位萨利文获得的票数。
Trump has repeatedly characterized the second Sullivan’s candidacy as election fraud. He previously acknowledged directing the Justice Department to file a lawsuit seeking to block certification of the election results if the Republican incumbent loses by a margin smaller than the number of votes received by the other Sullivan.
阿拉斯加州共和党州长邓利维也于本周下令启动州级调查，以确定所谓的招募行动是否违反州法律。
Alaska Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy also ordered a state investigation this week into whether the alleged recruitment effort violated state law.
该州最高法院此前裁定允许丹尼尔·J·萨利文留在选票上。该州的排序复选制允许选民按偏好顺序对候选人进行排序，这有可能限制一名候选人分走另一名竞争者选票的效应。
The state’s Supreme Court previously allowed Daniel J. Sullivan to remain on the ballot. The state’s ranked choice voting system allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, potentially limiting the effect of a candidate drawing votes away from another contender.
在可能决定参议院控制权的激烈参议院竞选进入最后冲刺阶段之际，这场争议愈演愈烈，共和党寻求捍卫萨利文的席位，民主党希望实现翻盘。
The controversy has intensified in the final days of a competitive Senate race that could help determine control of the chamber, with Republicans seeking to defend Sullivan’s seat and Democrats hoping to flip it.
阿拉斯加只是中期选举最后冲刺阶段吸引特朗普关注的数个州之一，总统恢复了此前取消的爱荷华州和堪萨斯州竞选行程。
Alaska is just one of several states drawing Trump’s attention in the final stretch of the midterm campaign, with the president restoring previously canceled campaign stops in Iowa and Kansas.
“我以为这就结束了。我以为我可以松口气了，”特朗普抱怨其高强度的竞选日程。
“I thought this was it. I thought I could relax,” Trump said, complaining about his aggressive campaign schedule.
总统表示，这两个州的共和党人请他举办集会，以帮助在胶着的竞选中锁定胜局。
The president said Republicans in both states had asked him to hold rallies to help secure victories in closely contested races.
“他们说，‘我们只想确保赢下选举，’”特朗普说。“所以，在你们大家都在看橄榄球的周日，我将在奔波途中。”
“They said, ‘We just want to make sure that we win,’” Trump said. “And so, on Sunday, while you’re all watching football, I’ll be traveling.”
