2024考研英语同源外刊8月:美国选举官以惊人速度辞职

Over the last four years, at least 40 of North Carolina's 100 counties have had to replace their election directors due to retirements, resignations and other career moves. Patrick Gannon, a spokesperson for the state Board of Elections, said that's a significantly greater level of turnover than the state has seen before. Similar trends hold true across the rest of the United States. A Boston Globe analysis of data from the US Vote Foundation found that county election official turnover had spiked after the 2020 election in battleground states like Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia. According to a 2022 survey by the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice, 20% of officials serving at the time said they planned to leave their posts before the 2024 presidential contest.

在过去的四年里，北卡罗来纳州的100个县中至少有40个县由于退休、辞职和其他职业变动而不得不更换选举主任。州选举委员会发言人帕特里克·甘农(Patrick Gannon)说，这比该州以前的人员流动水平要大得多。美国其他地区也有类似的趋势。《波士顿环球报》(Boston Globe)对美国投票基金会(US Vote Foundation)数据的分析发现，在2020年选举后，亚利桑那州、宾夕法尼亚州和佐治亚州等摇摆州的县选举官员流动率激增。无党派的布伦南司法中心(Brennan Center for Justice)在2022年进行的一项调查显示，当时20%的在职官员表示，他们计划在2024年总统大选前离职。

Those filling the vacancies are entering a high-pressure environment, especially in North Carolina, where Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden by fewer than 75.000 votes. Over 25% of the state's county election directors have personally experienced threats, according to a March poll by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Election Data and Science Lab, and 85% say their work-related stress has grown since 2019.

那些填补空缺的人正在进入一个高压环境，特别是在北卡罗来纳州，唐纳德·特朗普以不到75000票的优势击败了乔·拜登。麻省理工学院选举数据和科学实验室(MIT Election Data and Science Lab)3月份的一项民意调查显示，该州超过25%的县选举主任亲身经历过威胁，85%的人表示，自2019年以来，他们的工作压力有所增加。

New election workers will help manage a voting system that's among the most complex in the world, said David Becker, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Election Innovation & Research, a non-profit that works to build trust in the electoral process.

总部位于华盛顿的非营利组织选举创新研究中心(Center for Election Innovation Research)的执行董事戴维·贝克尔(David Becker)说，新的选举工作人员将帮助管理世界上较复杂的投票系统。该组织致力于在选举过程中建立信任。
