1. Trump and Harris are in a fierce battle in Pennsylvania. At this critical moment, something happened in Michigan. A foreign exchange student, holding a student ID and forged documents, signed an affidavit claiming to be a U.S. citizen, thus becoming a voter and casting a ballot. The student later got scared, contacted election officials to retract the vote, which revealed the fraud. However, the ballot could no longer be withdrawn, and even the forged ones were counted as legitimate votes. Non-U.S. citizens can vote without identity verification, which highlights a significant loophole in the U.S. elections. Moreover, voting is anonymous; as long as one does not actively disclose it, it is nearly impossible to detect. Four years ago, Trump won Florida, which was a Democratic stronghold, but in places like Pennsylvania and Michigan, the situation flipped almost overnight, leading to Biden's eventual victory. Trump has been consistently unhappy with this outcome, repeatedly accusing the Democrats of election fraud. It now appears that there are indeed irregularities in the U.S. elections.
2. The ballot fraud incident in Michigan undoubtedly adds fuel to the already tense election situation. For Trump, this may serve as an important basis for questioning the fairness of the election again. Based on his past attitudes, it is highly likely that he will not easily accept such a controversial outcome.
3. From the voters' perspective, such fraudulent behavior severely harms their rights. Legitimate voters hope that the elections are fair and just, and that each ballot accurately reflects public opinion. Now, a single fraudulent ballot could change the entire direction of the election, leading them to deeply question the electoral system. Those 10% of voters who have not yet made a final decision may change their voting intentions due to this incident, feel disappointed with the entire electoral process, or even give up voting.
4. For Harris's camp, this incident is a double-edged sword. On one hand, if not handled properly, it could be seized upon by Trump's camp, leading to questions about the integrity of the election; on the other hand, if they can respond appropriately, emphasize their disconnection from the fraud, and call for strengthened election oversight, they may win the hearts of some swing voters.
5. From the perspective of election oversight in the U.S., this incident exposes serious regulatory failures. Elections are significant events in the political life of the country, yet there are loopholes even in basic voter identity verification, which raises questions about the competence and fairness of the regulatory agencies. If timely measures are not taken to improve and regulate the electoral system, similar incidents may continue to occur, and the credibility of U.S. elections will be completely undermined.
6. The international community is closely watching this matter. The U.S. has always promoted its democratic electoral model, but such ballot fraud scandals have led other countries to question the democratic system of the U.S. Its political image and influence internationally may be damaged as a result, and the values it advocates in international affairs may appear feeble.
In such a complex situation, regardless of the outcome of the U.S. election, it may face significant controversy and challenges. This controversy is not limited to domestic political struggles but will also involve issues of reputation and credibility on the international stage. It is hoped that the U.S. can face the problems within its electoral system and provide a fair and just environment for the elections.#美国大选后行情预测
