Sean Rameswaram:2024年美国大选的关键摇摆州包括内华达州、亚利桑那州、佐治亚州、威斯康星州、密歇根州、宾夕法尼亚州和北卡罗来纳州。其中,北卡罗来纳州对特朗普至关重要,如果输掉该州,他将很难赢得大选。而哈里斯阵营也正大力投资北卡罗来纳州,认为拿下该州就能赢得大选。 Steve Harrison:飓风海伦对北卡罗来纳州大选造成了影响。虽然许多地区已经恢复正常,但仍面临饮用水供应问题和投票地点变更等挑战。州政府采取了一些措施以方便受灾选民投票,例如允许将邮寄选票送至邻近的县,但并未完全改变选举流程。此外,特朗普试图利用飓风事件进行政治操纵,散布虚假信息,而副总统哈里斯则采取了较低的姿态。受灾民众的沮丧情绪可能会影响投票结果,而特朗普的策略可能是为了激励其支持者投票。 Sarah Murray:除了北卡罗来纳州,美国其他州也面临着大选准备中的各种问题,包括选举规则的最后一刻更改、选民名单的更改尝试以及对选举结果的质疑等。一些州的法律规定导致计票速度缓慢,可能会导致选举结果延迟公布,例如威斯康星州和宾夕法尼亚州。她呼吁民众对选举结果的延迟保持耐心,并提醒大家不要将延迟与大规模选民舞弊等负面事件联系起来。 Steve Harrison: 飓风海伦对北卡罗来纳州大选的影响是多方面的。虽然灾后重建工作取得了进展,许多道路和基础设施得到修复,但仍有一些地区面临着饮用水供应不足的问题,这无疑会影响到人们的生活和投票意愿。此外,一些投票站因为受灾而被迫关闭或搬迁,这给选民带来了不便。州政府虽然采取了一些措施来应对这些挑战,例如增加投票站的灵活性,允许选民在不同县提交邮寄选票,但这些措施并不能完全解决问题。在这样的背景下,特朗普试图利用飓风事件来攻击政府,并散布虚假信息,这无疑会加剧社会的分裂和紧张。而哈里斯阵营则试图强调特朗普的言论对受灾民众造成的负面影响。总的来说,飓风海伦对北卡罗来纳州大选的影响是复杂的,它不仅会影响到选民的投票意愿和投票方式,还会影响到选举的公平性和公正性。
