美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一质疑中期选举的诚信度，距离共和党在摇摆州和前共和党大本营均遭遇历史性惨败尚不足一周。
President Donald Trump questioned the integrity of the midterm elections on Monday, less than a week after the Republican Party suffered historic defeats in both swing states and former GOP strongholds.
“有人真的相信这场‘选举’是诚实的吗？”特朗普在周一早些时候发布在 Truth Social 上的帖子中问道。“民调怎么会错得这么离谱？??”
“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest,” Trump asked in a Truth Social post early Monday. “How could the Polls be so wrong???”
他接着说：“一些早期投票‘数据倾倒’的数量大到不可能获胜，无论有多少人去投票，”随后在未作详细说明的情况下声称：“这全关乎机器，机器比选民重要得多！”
“Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote,” he continued, before claiming without elaboration: “It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”
特朗普这些未经证实的舞弊指控，距离他在 10 月 27 日告诉记者他将尊重选举结果——“如果它们是诚实的选举”——已近两周。随着 11 月 3 日全天及 11 月 4 日结果陆续出炉，特朗普似乎接受了结果。
Trump’s unsubstantiated fraud claims come nearly two weeks after he told reporters on Oct. 27 that he would respect the election results “if they’re honest elections.”As results came in throughout Nov. 3 and into Nov. 4, Trump seemed to accept the outcome.
“我要说的是，祝贺民主党人，我期待为国家利益与你们合作，”特朗普在选举夜通过电话告诉哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS News）。
“My message is, congratulations to the Democrats, and I look forward to working with you for the good of our country,” Trump told CBS News in an election-night phone call.
他在周日播出的《60 分钟》（60 Minutes）采访中重申了这一立场，表示愿意在移民问题上与民主党人合作，这是选民在选举日前最关心的议题之一。“我认为这实际上是可行的，”他说。
It was a sentiment he repeated in an interview that aired Sunday on 60 Minutes, when he said he would be willing to work with Democrats on immigration, addressing an issue that had been top-of-mind for voters ahead of Election Day. “I think that's something that's actually doable," he said.
然而到了周一上午，特朗普却开始对结果表示怀疑。这一言论让人回想起特朗普在 2020 年大选输给乔·拜登后，提出未经证实的选举干预指控并随之发起一系列诉讼。
By Monday morning, however, Trump was casting doubt on the results. The comment harkens back to Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of election interference and ensuing lawsuits after he lost the presidency to Joe Biden in 2020.
特朗普的选举否认史 特朗普在投票开始前就在对 2020 年大选播下疑虑，那年 8 月他告诉公众：“我们输掉这场选举的唯一方式就是选举被操纵。”败选后，特朗普拒绝向拜登认输。相反，他开始在没有证据的情况下散布关于大规模选举舞弊的阴谋论。
Trump's history of election denial Trump was sowing doubt on the 2020 election before voting began, telling the public that August that “the only way we’re going to lose this election is if the election is rigged.”Following his loss, Trump refused to concede to Biden. Instead, he began to spread conspiracy theories about widespread election fraud, without evidence.
2020年11月7日，在新闻机构预测拜登获胜前不久，特朗普在推特上虚假宣称，他“以巨大优势赢得了这场选举！”呼应特朗普的虚假主张也成了共和党内部的忠诚度测试，众议院议长迈克·约翰逊、俄亥俄州众议员吉姆·乔丹、前佐治亚州众议员马乔丽·泰勒·格林等人都宣扬了这一虚假观点。
On Nov. 7, 2020, shortly before news organizations projected Biden’s victory, Trump falsely declared on Twitter that he had “WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!”Echoing Trump’s false claims also became a test of loyalty within the Republican Party, with House Speaker Mike Johnson, Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, and former Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene among those who espoused the false view.
据众议院1月6日调查委员会称，在2020年11月4日至2021年1月6日期间，特朗普及其盟友提起了62起诉讼，质疑或试图推翻选举结果。只有一起诉讼取得了胜利——宾夕法尼亚州的一项狭义裁决，既未确立欺诈，也未改变结果。一些案件因程序理由被驳回；另一些则因实质理由败诉。法律上的失败并未阻止特朗普重复其虚假主张。
Trump and his allies filed 62 lawsuits challenging or seeking to overturn the results between Nov. 4, 2020, and Jan. 6, 2021, according to the House Jan. 6 committee. Only one produced a victory—a narrow Pennsylvania ruling that didn’t establish fraud or change the outcome. Some cases were dismissed on procedural grounds; others failed on the merits. The legal defeats did not stop Trump from repeating his false claims.
2020年12月22日，他在社交媒体上指控民主党人“在摇摆州深夜倾倒了数十万张选票。”
On Dec. 22, 2020, he alleged on social media that Democrats had “DUMPED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS IN THE SWING STATES LATE IN THE EVENING.”
主张于2021年1月5日升级，特朗普推文称：“华盛顿正被那些不想看到大选胜利被大胆的激进左派民主党人窃取的人淹没。”此前，他曾多次号召支持者聚集华盛顿特区，抗议选举结果。
The claims escalated on Jan. 5, 2021, when Trump tweeted: “Washington is being inundated with people who don’t want to see an election victory stolen by emboldened Radical Left Democrats.”This followed repeated calls for his supporters to descend upon Washington D.C. and protest the results.
2021年1月6日，当国会召开会议统计并认证选举人团投票时，一群特朗普支持者冲击了美国国会大厦。
As Congress met to count and certify the Electoral College votes on Jan. 6, 2021, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
他试图推翻2020年败选的努力也导致了刑事指控。2023年8月，特别检察官杰克·史密斯对特朗普提出四项联邦指控，指控其通过向官员施压、伪造选举人名单、干预认证程序等手段企图颠覆选举结果。特朗普表示不认罪。
His efforts to overturn his 2020 defeat also led to criminal charges. In August 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith brought four federal charges against Trump, alleging efforts to subvert the results through pressure on officials, fraudulent elector slates, and interference with certification. Trump pleaded not guilty.
在2024年竞选期间，他进一步强化了关于选举干预的指控，敦促选民带来一场“大到无法作弊”的胜利。该案于当年11月在他连任后被驳回，原因是司法部不得起诉在任总统的政策。
On the campaign trail in 2024, he doubled down on his allegations of election interference by urging voters to deliver a victory that was “too big to rig.”The case was dismissed in November that year, after his reelection, because of Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting President.
