执法部门正在调查,此前在奥兰多一处提前投票点附近的树木上发现了多个卐字标志。

Law enforcement is investigating after several swastikas were found painted on trees near an early-voting site in Orlando.

奥兰治县选举监督员凯伦·卡斯特·登特尔周四晚在塔夫特社区中心附近发现这些卐字标志,并通知了奥兰治县治安官办公室,据其办公室称,该办公室正在调查此事。照片显示,这些标志以白色漆喷涂在至少五棵树上。

Orange County Supervisor of Elections Karen Castor Dentel discovered the swastikas near the Taft Community Center late Thursday and notified the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, which her office said is investigating. Photos show the symbols painted in white on at least five trees.

“这些标志代表着仇恨、反犹太主义和暴力的历史。它们出现在我们的社区中,令人深感不安,绝不可接受,”登特尔说。“仇恨在我们社区没有立足之地,在我们的选举中也没有立足之地。”据报道,这些卐字标志已于周五被涂盖。该投票点仍对提前投票开放,直至周二的选举日。

“These symbols represent a history of hatred, antisemitism, and violence. Their presence in our community is deeply disturbing and unacceptable,” Dentel said. “Hatred has no place in our community, and it has no place in our elections.”The swastikas had reportedly been painted over by Friday. The voting site remains open for early voting ahead of Tuesday’s election.

登特尔办公室表示,目前尚不清楚是谁喷涂了这些标志,也不知原因,但称“它们对社区成员的潜在影响不应被忽视。”

Dentel’s office said it was unclear who painted the symbols or why but said that “their potential impact on members of the community should not be overlooked.”

代表奥兰多地区的联邦众议员麦克斯韦·弗罗斯特(民主党)称该事件“绝对令人作呕”。“纳粹不受中佛罗里达欢迎,”弗罗斯特在X平台上写道。“我们对白人至上主义、偏见、反犹太主义和选民恐吓说不。任何人行使投票权都不应感到受到威胁。”

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D), who represents the Orlando area, called the incident “absolutely disgusting.”“Nazi’s are NOT welcomed in Central Florida,” Frost wrote on X. “We say NO to white supremacy, bigotry, antisemitism and voter intimidation. No one should ever feel threatened for exercising their right to vote.”
