今年的美国大选结果，来得比往常要晚一些......受新冠疫情影响，今年大选邮寄选票激增，因此计票工作需要更多时间。于是，经过一天多的等待，美国人仍未等来“谁将成为下一任总统”的确切结果。据美联社最新统计，民主党总统候选人拜登已基本确定将密歇根州、威斯康星州和亚利桑那州这三个关键“摇摆州”收入囊中，目前以264张选举人票领先特朗普，距离入主白宫的270票仅有6票之遥。
现在，所有目光都紧盯着剩下未开票的四个关键“摇摆州”——宾夕法尼亚（20票）、北卡罗来纳（15票）、内华达（6票）和佐治亚州（16票）。如果拜登在这四州中拿下任意一个，即达到或超过270票；而特朗普目前还需要56张选举人票才能连任，这就意味着他必须要完胜这四个州。Joe Biden is edging closer to the White House, according to projections from the Associated Press, having flipped Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona from incumbent President Donald Trump. Trump has held Florida, Texas and Ohio but Biden won three states back from the Republican and the races in Nebraska, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia remain tight as votes in a nail-biting U.S. presidential election continue to be counted. The battle for control of the Senate – crucial to whoever wins the White House – remains in the balance, with the parties tied at 48-48, one contest heading to a runoff and three yet to be called.Biden is currently six votes short of the 270 needed to win the election and Trump needs to find 56, three of which the Republican is likely to pick up in Alaska. Pennsylvania (20), North Carolina (15), Nevada (6) and Georgia (16) are in the balance with votes still being counted: If Biden wins at least one of those four states he'll win the election, if Trump wins all four he'll be reelected.4日下午，拜登发表讲话称：“现在经过漫长的一夜计票，很明显，我们正赢得足够多的州来获得胜利选所需的270张选举人票。我到这里来并不是宣布我们已经胜选，我是想说，当计票结束，我们相信我们将是赢家。”值得一提的是，拜登除了目前在选举人票数上取得领先优势之外，还创下了美国历届总统候选人得票数之最。据美联社报道，截至美东时间5日零点，拜登已经获得7206万张选票。根据美国联邦选举委员会的数据，拜登的得票总数已经打破了此前由民主党人奥巴马在2008年创下的最高票数纪录，当时的票数接近6950万。Biden, who has won more votes than any previous candidate for president at over 70 million, said at a news conference on Wednesday afternoon that he now expected to win the presidency, but didn't declare victory."I will govern as an American president," the former vice president said. "There will be no red states and blue states when we win. Just the United States of America."
一夜之间，美国大选跌宕起伏。威斯康星州和密歇根州选情反转，双双“由红转蓝”，特朗普及其竞选团队随即开始“行动”起来。拜登在密歇根州领先于特朗普之后，特朗普竞选团队发布声明称，他们当天已经在宾州、佐治亚州和密歇根州采取法律行动，并要求威斯康星州重新计票。声明发布之后，特朗普一直没有公开露面，而是活跃在社交平台上。特朗普在推特上发文称，在密歇根州“有大量选票被秘密抛弃”。但该条推文被推特官方屏蔽，并标注为“存在争议，可能产生误导”。事实上，推特最近因特朗普接二连三的类似操作“忙”得不可开交。随后他又发推称自己昨晚还在牢牢领先，然后优势就神奇地消失了，“非常奇怪！”而这一条也被推特标注可能存在误导。The Trump campaign has called for a recount in Wisconsin and launched legal action in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan, a clear indication the president, who early on Wednesday morning claimed without basis that he had won the election and a "major fraud" had been committed on the American public, will not give up without a fight. The president has not appeared in public since the early morning statement, but has been active on Twitter, where he continued to question the integrity of the electoral process in posts that were labeled potentially "misleading" by the social media platform.
据美联社最新统计，特朗普已拿下佛罗里达州（29张选举人票）、得克萨斯州（38张选举人票）和俄亥俄州（18张选举人票），在佐治亚州、宾夕法尼亚州和北卡罗来纳州均有小幅领先优势。然而，邮寄选票还在统计中，据悉其中普遍是支持拜登的。Trump won Florida's 29 electoral votes, Texas' 38 and Ohio's 18, according to the Associated Press, and holds narrow leads in Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.The president's advantages in all three of the states are narrowing, however, with a large number of mail-in votes, which have generally favored Biden, still being counted. 目前，美国多个州的选票仍在统计中。大选最终结果如何？我们将持续关注。
