多州延迟邮寄选票诉求遭驳回
10月27日,最高法院以5-3的多数通过裁决,驳回了威斯康星州延迟邮寄选票日期的决定。此前该州民主党人以新冠病毒疫情影响选民投票为由,宣布将截止日期延长六天至11月9日。此举遭到了共和党人的反对,理由是“选民有很多选择可以在选举日之前进行投票。”实际上是共和党人担心,延长日期将激励支持民主党人的年轻选民邮寄选票,从而使自己面临不利局面。

根据佛罗里达大学的“美国选举项目”(U.S. Elections Project)数据显示,截至29日晚,已有超过8000余万选票投出,达到2016年投票总数的59%,而此时距离大选日不到一周。该项目负责人、佛罗里达大学政治学教授迈克尔·P·麦当劳(Michael P. McDonald)在一条推特中感叹道,“数字令人震惊”。
