癌症去世者投票不作数?
Amber Pflughoeft beamed with pride as she filled out her ballot for the first time last month.
上个月,安布尔·普拉霍福特第一次填写她的选票时,脸上洋溢着自豪。
A 20-year-old who'd been fighting bone cancer for a decade, she was fascinated with politics, her mother Tiffany Pflughoeft remembered.
她的母亲蒂凡尼·普拉霍福特回忆说,20岁的她已经和骨癌斗争了10年,而她一直对政治很着迷。
And after spending the last midterm election in the hospital following a bone marrow transplant, she was determined to vote this year.
在接受了骨髓移植手术后,她在医院期间赶上了最后一次中期选举,她决定今年进行投票。
But just a few days after she mailed in her ballot, Amber's condition took a sudden turn for the worse.
但就在她寄出选票的几天后,安布尔的病情突然恶化。
She went back to the hospital and died in late September.
她又被送回到医院后,于9月底去世。
Now, her ballot will be thrown out under Wisconsin election law.
现在,根据威斯康辛选举法,她的选票将被否决。
She is one of several dozen Wisconsinites whose votes will be canceled because they passed away after voting early, according to state Elections Commission data provided through a public records request.
根据州选举委员会通过公共记录请求提供的数据,她是因提前投票后去世而被取消投票的几十名威斯康辛人之一。
"She was so excited about it," Tiffany said this week.
“她对此很兴奋,”蒂芙尼本周说道。
"She died on a Monday, but on Saturday, when she could still talk, she was telling all the nurses and doctors, 'I voted.'"
“她在周一去世了,但在上周六,当她还能说话的时候,她告诉所有的护士和医生,'我投票了。’”
"We never realized it wouldn't count," she said.States around the country are divided on whether to count votes from people who cast an early ballot and then die before Election Day.
“我们从来没有意识到它不算数,”她说。对于是否清点那些提前投票然后在选举日之前死亡的人的选票,美国各州存在分歧。
At least a dozen states allow it, more than a dozen others reject those votes, and laws in other states are unclear, recent research from the National Conference of State Legislatures found.
美国全国州议会会议最近的研究发现,至少有12个州允许这一投票,还有超过12个州反对这一投票,还有一些州的法律尚不明确。
Among the most crucial swing states, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania don't count early ballots cast by voters who die before Election Day, while Arizona, Florida, Georgia and Ohio do, according to the NCSL and state elections officials.
据全国全国选举委员会和州选举官员说,在最关键的处于摇摆期的州中,威斯康辛、爱荷华、密歇根、北卡罗来纳和宾夕法尼亚不计算选举日前死亡选民的提前投票,而亚利桑那州、佛罗里达州、乔治亚州和俄亥俄州会计算。
