50万人请愿选举人选希拉里而不是川普当总统 [美国媒体]

A petition on Change.org calling for the Electoral College to elect Hillary Clinton as President has earned over half of the signatures needed for it to be sent to the governing body.

一个呼吁选举人团选举希拉里为总统的请愿网站已经获得了必需签名数一半以上的签名，请愿需要足够的签名才能发送给政府。

The petition, launched on Wednesday after important]Donald Trump was elected President, important]calls for the Electoral College to “ignore their states’ votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton.”

这个请愿是在星期三特朗普被选为总统后发起的，它要求选举人团“忽视”本州的选票把他们自己的票投给希拉里。

Although Trump won over the 270 necessary electoral votes to secure the Presidency, Clinton narrowly earned the nation’s popular vote.

尽管特朗普赢得的选票已经超过270张保证总统位置的必要的选举人票，但是希拉里以微弱优势赢得了国家普选。

The Electoral College – which was first introduced in 1804 – is comprised of 538 electors. Each state’s number of electors is decided by its number of members in Congress, which is dependent on the state’s population. So, when American citizens cast their ballots, they aren’t directly voting for president – they’re voting for electors. This year, Trump took 279, to Clinton’s 228.

选举人团（在1804年第一次被采用）由538名选举人组成。每一个州的选举人数量由这个州在国会中的代表数量决定，而国会代表数量取决于这个州的人口数量。所以，当美国公民投票时，他们并不是直接选举总统，而是在选选举人。今年，特朗普获得了279张选举人票，希拉里228张。

Most states use a “winner-take-all” system when it comes to electoral votes, although there is no Constitutional provision or federal law that requires electors to vote a certain way. Twenty-six states and Washington, D.C., do, however, “bind” their electors to vote for the promised candidate on Dec. 19 – in this case, Trump. In many cases, “faithless electors” are forced to pay a fine if they vote against the popular choice.

对于选举人票，大部分州采用的是赢者通吃的规则，虽然并没有宪法条例或者联邦法律规定选举人的投票方式。然而在这个特定情况下26个州和华盛顿特区要在12月19日把选举人票投给许诺的候选人——特朗普。在很多情况下如果选举人不按普选的结果投票，他们将会受到惩罚。

Maine and Nebraska follow a different method, called the congressional district method, which allots two electoral votes to the popular vote winner, and additional votes for each congressional district won by the candidates.

缅因州和内布拉斯加州遵循的是不一样的方法，叫做国会选区方法，它分配两个选举人票给州普选获胜者，额外的票给国会选区。

Faithless electors have not ever reversed the presidency.

无信念的选举人还从来没有推翻过总统职位。

The Change.org petition, which was at over 500,000 signatures on Thursday afternoon, said that Clinton supporters would be happy to pay any fees accrued by those who choose to be faithless electors.

在星期四下午已经获得50万签名的请愿网站对外声明，希拉里的支持者乐于支付任何费用给这些选择成为无信念选举人的人（译者：让他们推翻总统）。

“Mr. Trump is unfit to serve,” the petition claimed. “His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic. Secretary Clinton WON THE POPULAR VOTE and should be President.”

“特朗普先生不适合为美国人服务，” 请愿书声称。“他让如此多的美国人替他受罪，还有他的冲动，欺凌弱小，撒谎，公认的性侵史以及执政经验的极度缺乏会让他成为共和国的威胁。希拉里赢得了普选，她应该成为总统。”

These people need to take a history or a political science class. The popular vote doesn't mean squat, and it's that way for a reason.

这些人应该去上上历史学或政治学课程。普选不能决定一切，这样是有原因的。

I'll bet most of these people signing the petition are millennials who didn't bother to vote.

我打赌这些签了请愿书的大部分人都是00后，他们都懒得费心去投票。

Just to remind these cry babies what Obama said after the elections in 2008: "I won, you lost, get used to it"! Do the same and shut up!

你们这些爱哭的小屁孩想想2008年奥巴马胜选说的话：“我赢了，你输了，你得适应这结果。” 闭上你们的嘴，照这话做。

Really funny. If the situation were reversed they'd be the ones wanting to leave things the way they are. The Republicans wouldn't be winning about needing to change the results to suit them. We had to deal with Obama, that need to deal with Trump.

真搞笑。如果这结果被推翻，他们就会总想事情按他们自己的方式运行。共和党人就不会哭哭滴滴的要求改变结果。之前我们不得不去跟奥巴马谈，现在你们需要跟特朗普谈了。
