Voter Fraud We’ve Identified So Far

我们迄今发现的选民欺诈

Election fraud is exceedingly rare, but President Trump has fixated on rooting it out this year, claiming without evidence that tens of thousands of noncitizens are registered to vote. —The Times.

选举欺诈极为罕见,但特朗普总统今年执意要将其铲除,在毫无证据的情况下声称有数万名非公民登记投票。——《纽约时报》

After scouring billions of ballots, we have identified countless instances of voter fraud. They are countless, in part, because we are unwilling and unable to count past thirty-four. Verified election-fraud incidents include the following:

在翻查了数十亿张选票之后,我们发现了数不清的选民欺诈案例。之所以数不清,部分原因是我们不愿意、也没有能力数到三十四以上。经核实的选举欺诈事件包括以下内容:

Incident: A noncitizen who lives in Rhode Island visited family in Texas and, while at a local coffee shop, cast multiple votes in a poll titled “JACOB ELORDI OR AUSTIN BUTLER???”

事件:一名居住在罗德岛的非公民去得克萨斯州探亲,在当地一家咖啡店里,在一项名为“雅各布·埃洛迪(Jacob Elordi)还是奥斯汀·巴特勒(Austin Butler)???”的投票中投了多票。

Evidence: Not only did the noncitizen vote four times for one candidate and twice for the other, but she did so with the sixty cents she received as change for her order.

证据:这名非公民不仅为其中一位候选人投了四次票、为另一位投了两次,而且用的是她点单找零得到的六十美分。

Verdict: Interstate Fraud, multiple instances. Voted (“tipped”) a total of six times. Votes were quite literally purchased. Incorrect preference for Jacob over Austin.

裁定:跨州欺诈,多次实施。共计投票(“打赏”)六次。选票确确实实是花钱买的。在雅各布与奥斯汀之间错误地偏好雅各布。

Incident: Herbert D. Pendleton, Sr., remains on his town’s voter roll despite being dead.

事件:老赫伯特·D·彭德尔顿(Herbert D. Pendleton, Sr.)虽然已经去世,却仍留在其所在城镇的选民名册上。

Evidence: When Herbert D. Pendleton, Jr., went to vote last year, a poll worker claims that she mistakenly crossed off the father’s name instead of the son’s.

证据:小赫伯特·D·彭德尔顿(Herbert D. Pendleton, Jr.)去年去投票时,一名投票站工作人员声称她不小心划掉了父亲的名字,而不是儿子的名字。

Verdict: Zombie Fraud. Poll workers are clearly willing to make up elaborate tales rather than admit that Herbert D. Pendleton, Sr., rose from the dead.

裁定:僵尸欺诈。投票站工作人员显然宁愿编造离奇的故事,也不愿承认老赫伯特·D·彭德尔顿从死人堆里爬了出来。

Incident: A dog was allowed into a polling center at a local gymnasium.

事件:一只狗被允许进入当地一家体育馆内的投票中心。

Evidence: The dog’s owner allegedly exclaimed, “Ain’t no rules says a dog can’t play basketball—or vote!”

证据:狗的主人据称高喊:“没有哪条规定说狗不能打篮球——或者投票!”

Verdict: Canine Voter Fraud. After interviews with a dozen people who were not there, we deem it highly likely that the dog filled in part of the ballot—and then sank some threes.

裁定:犬类选民欺诈。在采访了十二位当时并不在场的人之后,我们认为极有可能这只狗填写了选票的一部分——然后还投进了几个三分球。

Incident: A green-card holder may have walked by a polling location.

事件:一名绿卡持有者可能路过了一个投票点。

Evidence: Passersby recall the permanent resident “sneaking a peek” at the line of people waiting to cast a ballot.

证据:路人回忆称,这名永久居民“偷偷瞄了一眼”排队等待投票的人群。

Verdict: Curiosity Fraud. Were it not for such a long line, and were they not on the other side of four lanes of traffic, and were they not headed to work, and were they not uninterested in voting, the offender would have attempted to cast between ten and twenty fraudulent ballots.

裁定:好奇心欺诈。要不是队伍那么长,要不是他们隔着四条车道的车流,要不是他们正赶着去上班,要不是他们对投票毫无兴趣,这名违法者本会试图投下十到二十张欺诈性选票。

Incident: Mail-in ballots—just that they generally exist.

事件:邮寄选票——仅仅是指它们普遍存在这件事本身。

Evidence: Registered voters all over the country have been, quite literally, “mailing it in.”

证据:全国各地的登记选民确确实实地在“邮寄了事”。

Verdict: Lack of Commitment Fraud. Citizens must prove their patriotism by not only voting in person but also by making their way through an extensive and dangerous “American Ninja Warrior”-style obstacle course en route to the ballot box.

裁定:缺乏诚意欺诈。公民必须证明自己的爱国心,不仅要亲自到场投票,还要在前往投票箱的路上通过一道漫长而危险的“美国忍者勇士”式障碍赛道。

Incident: Many members of the public were coerced into voting a certain way by reading the news.

事件:许多公众因阅读新闻而被胁迫以某种方式投票。

Evidence: As average citizens become more aware of what’s happening, they have been observed to vote in their own best interests, an extremely troubling turn of events.

证据:随着普通公民对正在发生的事情了解得越来越多,人们观察到他们开始按照自己的最佳利益投票,这是一个极其令人不安的事态发展。

Verdict: Informed Fraud. Votes must be cast based on vibe, not intellectual engagement. News organizations to be held liable for broadcasting news. Voters to be held liable for expressing free will.

裁定:知情欺诈。投票必须基于感觉,而非智识参与。新闻机构因播报新闻将被追究责任。选民因行使自由意志将被追究责任。

Incident: Danny R. won his school’s race for student-body president on a socialist platform.

事件:丹尼·R(Danny R.)凭借社会主义纲领赢得了学校学生会主席竞选。

Evidence: Danny R. promised that the school district would subsidize Roblox in-game purchases for the entire eighth grade. He ran unopposed.

证据:丹尼·R承诺学区将为整个八年级补贴Roblox游戏内购。他无人竞争。

Verdict: Candidate Fraud. Danny R. does not have the authority to distribute taxpayer dollars. His win was predicated on a false representation of his position’s power. All votes are ruled invalid. East Middle School will forego its student government indefinitely.

裁定:候选人欺诈。丹尼·R无权分配纳税人的钱。他的胜选建立在对该职位权力的虚假陈述之上。所有选票裁定无效。东中学将无限期取消学生会。

Incident: A Canadian tourist voted via text for their favorite “Dancing with the Stars” contestant.

事件:一名加拿大游客通过短信为他们最喜欢的《与星共舞》选手投票。

Evidence: The host of a watch party reported their friend, who was visiting from Ontario.

证据:一场观赛派对的主持人举报了他们那位从安大略省来访的朋友。

Verdict: Sashay Fraud. Voting via text is far too accessible. “Dancing with the Stars” will now require in-person paper voting and multiple forms of identification.

裁定:走秀欺诈。短信投票的门槛实在太低了。《与星共舞》今后将要求现场纸质投票,并出示多种身份证明。

Incident: A convicted felon who resides full time in Washington, D.C., voted in Florida during the last three elections, each time for himself.

事件:一名常住华盛顿特区的已定罪重罪犯在过去三次选举中都在佛罗里达州投票,每次都是投给他自己。

Evidence: The man used mail-in ballots while encouraging vote counters to “find” more votes for his preferred candidates.

证据:该男子使用邮寄选票,同时鼓励计票员为他偏好的候选人“找出”更多选票。

Verdict: Not Fraud. In fact, even investigating this incident is traitorous. Incident to be redacted forthwith. ♦

裁定:不构成欺诈。事实上,就连调查这一事件都是叛国行为。该事件即刻起予以删除。 ♦
