播音员：2024年美国总统大选竞争激烈，选举结果不仅在投票箱中产生，也在法庭上通过法律诉讼来决定。如同2020年大选后一样，选举舞弊指控和法律挑战再次出现，特朗普及其盟友再次试图通过法律手段影响选举结果。无论11月5日选举结果如何，民主党和共和党都已准备好迎接旷日持久的法律斗争，以确保选举结果的准确性。
Jessica Marsden：在选举日之前，已经有多起诉讼挑战了美国选举的运行方式。这些诉讼主要围绕选民资格和海外投票程序展开。共和党方面提出的诉讼主要挑战选民资格，声称有大量选民不符合资格。此外，共和党还对多个州的海外公民投票程序提出质疑。共和党现在提起诉讼的一个策略是为选举后提出相同的论点做准备，即使这些诉讼在选举前不太可能获得法院支持。今年民主党提起的诉讼比共和党少，并且通常是介入共和党最初提起的案件。选民可以联系当地选举办公室核实投票情况，如果按照选举办公室的指示投票，选票就会被计算在内。对选举制度的信任度下降是最大的担忧。选民可以访问当地选举办公室的网站获取关于选举流程的信息，以消除对选举过程的恐惧和焦虑。
Jessica Marsden: 2024年美国总统大选的法律挑战主要集中在选民资格和海外投票程序上。共和党方面发起的大量诉讼质疑数千名选民的资格，并挑战多个州的海外投票程序。这种策略可能与2020年大选类似，旨在为选举后的法律挑战做准备。民主党则相对较少地提起诉讼，通常是介入共和党发起的诉讼。选民应该关注当地选举办公室的指示，确保投票有效。对选举制度信任度的下降是当前最令人担忧的问题，选民可以通过当地选举办公室的网站获取更多信息，以消除疑虑。
Deep Dive
Why are there so many lawsuits surrounding this election?
Republicans are filing lawsuits to challenge voter eligibility and overseas voting procedures, possibly to lay ground for post-election litigation.
Why are Republicans filing lawsuits now, even if they won't be resolved before the election?
They aim to establish legal precedents that could be used in post-election challenges, as seen in 2020.
What are Democrats doing in response to these lawsuits?
Democrats are generally intervening in Republican-filed cases rather than initiating new lawsuits.
What is the biggest concern regarding the current election landscape?
The erosion of trust in the election system due to a four-year campaign questioning its integrity.
How can voters ensure their votes are counted?
Voters can follow instructions from their local election offices and check with them to confirm their ballots are counted.
Elections are not just decided at the ballot box but also in the courtroom, with both parties gearing up for legal battles similar to those in 2020.
- Trump and his allies filed lawsuits alleging widespread fraud after the 2020 election, which failed.
- Four years later, similar strategies are being employed again.
