Now let's take a look at what Mayland or absentee voting means.

現在我們來看看什麼叫梅蘭芳或缺席投票。

Traditionally, the majority of voters show up in person to cast their ballots for primary and general elections.

傳統上，大多數選民親自到場為初選和大選投票。

Vote by males when voters oft out of showing up in person to then cast their ballot through the mail.

This process, depending on the state, usually starts when a voter request their ballot.

這個過程，根據不同的州，通常在選民要求他們的選票時開始。

The male, then election officials send the official ballot to the voter who fills it out and send it back to be counted.

男，然後選舉官員將正式選票發給選民，由選民填寫後再送回去統計。

At least 34 states now allow voters to request an absentee ballot without the need of an excuse.

現在至少有34個州允許選民不需要藉口就可以申請缺席投票。

Currently, seven states require an excuse to vote by mail places like New York in Texas, though that may change.

目前，有7個州要求像得克薩斯州的紐約這樣的地方必須有藉口進行郵寄投票，不過這種情況可能會改變。

Other places like California and Nevada have decided to send about it to every registered voter.

其他地方如加州和內華達州已經決定將此事發給每個登記的選民。

Even those who didn't apply for the mail option.

Carl, the question now remains.

卡爾，現在的問題是：

Would the pandemic creating a once in a lifetime challenge for elections?

疫情會不會給選舉帶來千載難逢的挑戰？

What impact will this have on the general election in the fall?

這對秋季的大選會有什麼影響？

Thanks, Kelly.

謝謝，凱利。

That question is at the root of a blooming controversy.

這個問題是一場綻放的爭議的根源。

The Trump administration is planning to sue Nevada and at least one other state for their plans to mail a ballot to every voter.

特朗普政府正計劃起訴內華達州和至少另外一個州，因為他們計劃向每個選民郵寄選票。

Many Republicans and critics of mail in voting say it increases the risk of fraud, in part because election officials, like poll workers, won't be there in person to make sure the votes were cast freely and fairly.

許多共和黨人和責備郵寄投票的人說，它增加了舞弊的風險，部分原因是選舉官員，如投票站工作人員，不會親自到場，以確保投票是自由和公平的。

Many Democrats and supporters of mail in voting say it's already been shown to work in several states and that it opens up the opportunity to vote to more people.

許多民主黨人和郵遞投票的支持者說，它已經在幾個州被證明是有效的，它為更多的人提供了投票的機會。

A number of experts on this issue say it's not clear if mail in voting benefits one party over the other that there's no guarantee that either Democrats or Republicans would have an advantage with mail in ballots.

這個問題的一些專家說，目前還不清楚郵寄投票是否對某一方有利，無法保證民主黨或共和黨在郵寄選票的情況下會有優勢。

But in American infectious disease, Specialist says.

但在美國傳染病，專家說。

As long as people follow social distancing guidelines, there's no reason why they can't vote in person this fall.

只要人們遵循社會疏導準則，今年秋天就沒有理由不親自投票。

So how all this plays out remains to be seen.

所以這一切如何發展，還有待觀察。

Another layer to this controversy concerns the U.

這場爭論的另一層含義是關於美國。

But critics, including many Democrats, say the changes were made under pressure from the Trump administration, which they accuse of trying to intentionally slow down service in anticipation of MAWR mailed in votes.

但包括許多民主黨人在內的批評者說，這些變化是在特朗普政府的壓力下做出的，他們指責特朗普政府試圖故意放慢服務，以期待MAWR郵寄投票。

The postmaster general denies that and says any further changes will be delayed until after the election.

郵政總長否認了這一點，並表示任何進一步的改變將被延後到選舉之後。

Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives plan to hold a vote this weekend on billions of additional funding for the agency.

眾議院的民主黨領導人計劃在本週末就該機構的數十億額外資金進行投票。

Experts in the post office itself say it handles farm or mail over Christmas than it would through mail in ballots and that it would have no problem processing them.

郵局本身的專家說，它處理農場或郵件在聖誕節比它會通過郵件在選票，它將沒有問題處理它們。
