肯塔基州进行初选选民投票

肯塔基州在本周二进行了初选投票，尽管面临冠状病毒感染的风险和投票人员短缺的问题（投票点从3700个减少为200个），但投票人数仍然创下历史新高。除了当面投票的15.6万人，这一结果也在一定程度上要归功于人们今年普遍接受邮寄投票的形式。但是，特朗普总统却认为邮寄选票会在留不下任何证据的情况下发生大规模投票作假的行为，所以他强烈反对邮寄选票的方式。截至24日下午3时，该州选举办公室收到了大约10万张选票和57万张邮寄选票。肯塔基州共和党国务卿Michael G.Adams预计：最终总投票将超过100万，其中包括大约80万张邮寄选票，最终数字将打破2008年创下的922456名初选选民的纪录。

Voters in Kentucky were on track to cast ballots in record numbers for Tuesday’s primary despite the risk of coronavirus infection and shortages of poll workers；and poll worker cancellations had forced election officials to staff fewer than 200 polling locations instead of the usual 3,700 ，thanks in part to the widespread embrace of voting by mail and 156,000 people voted in person on Election Day. President Trump has railed against mail ballots and claimed without evidence they lead to massive fraud. As of mid-afternoon, about 570,000 absentee ballots had been received by election offices in the state, in addition to the 100,000 ballots cast at early voting locations. Kentucky’s Republican secretary of state, projected that total turnout would exceed 1 million, including roughly 800,000 mailed ballots. The final figure would shatter the previous record of 922,456 primary voters set in 2008.
