#美國大選最新狀況【拜登當選機會大,川普發起法律攻勢阻止拜登勝出】
第59屆美國總統大選在美國時間11月4日凌晨3點(台北時間4日下午4點),代表共和黨尋求連任的川普(Donald Trump)在白宮發表即將勝選演說後,票數統計的狀況讓川普的選情急轉直下。
鐵鏽區威斯康辛(10張選舉人票)、密西根(16張選舉人票)2個搖擺州原本由川普領先,郵寄投票陸續開出,被代表民主黨的候選人拜登(Joe Biden)翻盤,使拜登所累積的選舉人票數來到253張。但川普對這2州的選舉結果有質疑,一方面透過法律訴訟要求在威州重新計票,並要求密西根州、賓夕法尼亞州、喬治亞州停止計算郵寄選票。
美國總統選舉是選舉人團(Electoral College)制度,總共538張的選舉人票中,候選人必須獲得超過270張選舉人票才得以勝選。根據《美聯社》(AP)與《紐約時報》的最新數據,目前50州裡有44州開票結果抵定。尚未正式開出票數的6州是:內華達州(6張)、賓州(20張)、北卡羅萊納州(15張)、喬治亞州(16張)、阿拉斯加州(3張)與亞利桑那州(11票);其中亞利桑那州是否確定被拜登拿下,美國各家媒體仍有歧異,《美聯社》認為拜登拿下亞利桑那州,但《紐時》則持保守態度,尚未確定誰勝出此州。在台北時間5日下午1點為止,拜登與川普分別拿下253張、214張選舉人票。拜登的票數距離270過半數的當選門檻,只差17張。
雖然拜登沒有直接宣告勝選,但人在德拉瓦州威明頓的他在台北時間5日早上表示很清楚自己會達到270張選舉人票,「我在此不是要宣告我們已經贏了,而是向各位報告當計票完成之時,我相信我們會是贏家。」
■史無前例的大量郵寄選票,讓選情不確定性延長
台北時間昨晚原本不少人預測川普很有機會連任,但此次大選的不確定性像延長賽,由於史無前例的高比例郵寄選票,以及1908年以來最高的投票率(預計將破67%),使得計票時間拉長,特別不少州的郵寄投票開得晚,以至於兩黨選情持續焦著。尤其在威斯康辛州和密西根州,川普原本領先後被翻盤,使得他的陣營祭出進一步的行動。
由於威斯康辛州的法令規定,兩位候選人的得票差距若小於1個百分點(目前拜登以0.6個百分點領先,差距票數是2萬多張),可要求重新計票。川普陣營表示,他們要求重新計票。此外,川普更在推特上批評郵寄投票的混亂(Absentee ballot counting chaos),他宣稱,密西根州在計算郵寄投票時,選務人員遮住窗戶,不允許他們的觀察員進駐;川普要求最高法院讓他們派駐觀察員,在那之前選務人員必須先停止計票。
根據《紐時》報導,川普陣營特別重視的是位在密西根州的底特律TCF計票中心所發生的現場情況。目前有170萬張的郵寄選票還在此計票中,川普的支持者在外頭高喊著:「停止計票。」現場有些對峙,但沒有暴力發生。支持者抗議底特律官方阻止了他們成為觀察員。在TCF裡頭有900位政府的計票工作者,85位觀察員,但場外仍有數十個觀察員想進去。
川普競選總幹事史泰平(Bill Stepien)指出,他們未被提供計票地點的有意義資訊,無法透明觀察開票程序。
此外,在有20位選舉人票的賓州,原本川普一路贏了高達8個百分點,但賓州州務卿在開票夜表示,還有140萬的郵寄選票尚未計算。由於郵寄選票的主力是民主黨支持者,拜登在選舉開票至凌晨後,就耐心等待開票結果。目前川普的律師要求聯邦最高法院介入賓州最高法院裁定延長計票時間的裁決。
■搖擺州北卡、喬治亞今天應有結果,賓州也將會明朗化
在尚未計票完成的州裡,親自投票(in-person)的數目大致開完,主要是郵寄投票(mail-in)還在開票中。目前尚未正式宣布結果、仍在計算的普選票數如下:賓州有78萬張、北卡州29萬張、喬治亞26萬、內華達州19萬、阿拉斯加州12萬張、亞歷桑那州46萬張。
目前開票至86%的內華達州被部分媒體視為選戰關鍵,拜登得票率(49.3%)暫時領先川普(48.7%)0.6個百分點,但內華達州宣布下次更新計票數字是當地時間5日上午9時(台灣時間6日凌晨1時),將拉長計票時間。
■發起法律攻勢的延長戰,2000年小布希與高爾困局可能再度上演
根據U.S. election project的統計,此次合格選民將近2.4億人,全國的投票率接近67%,超過了1908年的65.7%。而拜登的普選票票數,也超過了歐巴馬在2008年的6,949萬的美國歷史上最高得票紀錄。截至台灣時間5日中午12時30分,拜登拿下的普選票數為7,190萬,川普為6,830萬票,兩人票數也相當接近。
兩黨候選人得票數接近的狀況,在美國的歷史上並非頭一遭。
2000年第43屆美國總統選舉中,代表共和黨的小布希(George W. Bush)與民主黨的高爾(Al Gore)都沒有獲得超過270張選舉人票的當選門檻。當時握有25張關鍵選舉人票的搖擺州佛羅里達州的票數相當接近,雙方多次要求重新計票,並訴諸司法。當時佛州最高法院做出有利高爾的判決之後,小布希不服告上聯邦最高法院。
因為佛州當時出現人工點票與機器點票混合的狀況,聯邦法院最後以5比4的票數裁決人工點票無效,讓小布希最後以不到2,000票的差距拿下佛州的25張選舉人票。兩方的法律攻防戰也在選舉日後的36天才定案,最後高爾承認小布希勝選。
2000年的高爾、2016年的希拉蕊都在普選票佔多數,但因輸了選舉人票而敗選。2020年的情況目前看來,普選票上拜登取得的數量仍多於川普。
目前川普的戰術是選後的延長戰,針對民主黨在搖擺州發起大規模法律攻勢,來阻止拜登當選。
■拜登陣營的後冷戰思維 vs. 川普陣營的新冷戰思維
若是拜登當選,台灣最關心的是拜登的對台關係,以及他是否會延續或改變川普所塑立的美中新冷戰局勢?
川普上任來,以攻勢進逼中國,視中國為美國主要競爭對手,所以在產業、經濟上與中國持續脫勾;川普也打破過去30多年來美國總統低調處理台美關係的態度,透過單邊主義的惠台法案、軍售案等政策,壓制中國,甚至進一步發展出各以美、中為核心擴散出去的全球式兩集團的對抗。川普的國務卿蓬佩奧(Mike Pompeo)7月23日曾在加州公開演講強調:「身為世界上自由國家的一員,必須以更加有創意和自信的方式,促使中國共產黨改變其行為,因為北京的作為威脅了我們的人民與繁榮⋯⋯如果自由世界不改變共產主義中國,共產主義中國就會改變我們。」
蓬佩奧在8月12日拜訪捷克時曾公開表示:「此刻發生的並非冷戰的2.0版。在抵禦中國共產黨的威脅上,某些方面上,其挑戰甚至更嚴峻。」(What’s happening now isn’t Cold War 2.0. The challenge of resisting the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] threat is in some ways worse.)
川普的說法可以理解為新冷戰思維對待崛起的中國強權,全力施壓中國,同步把台灣當做籌碼,但也使台灣也在美中博弈過程,於世界上獲得相當高的能見度。
但在政壇將50年,擔任歐巴馬兩屆8年的副總統,目前77歲的拜登,其想法較像是延續後冷戰的思惟。雖然拜登所屬民主黨近來也強調走抗中策略,他甚至在選前曾投書在美發行的華文報紙《世界日報》表示,在當選美國總統後,會深化美國與台灣的關係,「我們是一個太平洋強國,將與盟友並肩,增進我們在亞太地區共享的繁榮、安全與價值。這其中就包括深化與台灣這個居領先地位的民主政體、主要經濟體,以及科技重鎮的關係。台灣也是開放社會可以有效控制新冠病毒的閃亮典範。」
只是在國家利益上的優先排序,拜登更重視的是對俄羅斯的防堵。10月25日,拜登在美國電視台《CBS》節目《60分鐘》裡曾被主持人問到:「哪一個國家是美國最大的威脅?」,拜登的回覆是:「俄國是最有可能摧毀美國國家安全與離間盟邦的國家;其次,中國是美國最大的競爭對手。」(I think the biggest threat to America right now in terms of breaking up our security and our alliances is Russia. Secondly, I think that the biggest competitor is China.)
■若拜登當選,台灣的能見度是否被稀釋?
長期研究美國政治、台大社科院風險社會與政策研究中心博士後研究員卞中佩分析,,過去因為川普是單邊主義,單獨對中國、加拿大、墨西哥、德國、日本等等,在對中國單邊處理下,台灣的能見度就會提高,也會有實質的成果,如軍售、友台法案等。但之後若拜登當選總統,應該會回到多邊主義;基本上美國仍會持續經營亞太,但會以多邊、找同盟的模式進行,亞太地區應會首要重建與澳洲、日本、韓國的關係,而台灣能見度的確可能被稀釋。
卞中佩指出,美國對於俄、中的比重則是另一個大的國際戰略議題,拜登政府可能會放心力在俄國上面,對中國則會是以多邊體制進行互動,策略會傾向有拉有打,風格會不同於川普的重拳出擊,台灣必須在民主黨可能在乎的國際議題上找空間,如人權、氣候變遷等。(文/李雪莉、楊智強 ;資料整理/柯皓翔;設計/黃禹禛)

Three months into MCO. And endless amount of crazy shit happening around the world. Taking them in, trying to hold on to a steady breathe and coping. Keep sane...ANYWAY, Miss Cakap Banyak Diary today at episode no. 36, remesnising happy memories of my dance classes from years ago. Here is a kaleidescope of some classes from a big pile of videos.
Found a huge library of videos in my archive of dance classes dated 10 years back. I started attending regular dance classes with the amazing Ann Tan since 2008 or 2009. I have videos from those classes from year 2010. I've had other dance teachers too but the weekly jazz, jazz-contemp (if there is a name to it) classes I took with Ann Tan Li Lian was the most regular and consistent, until she moved away from Malaysia. From 2015 onwards, my other most consistent weekly classes have been adult ballet with The Royal Durian Academy with cikgu Nell Ng.
Watching the dance class videos made me smile, and laugh. Laughing at my awkwardness, albeit some moments of them I thought I don't look half bad.
The one thing that nobody can take away from me (or from you) is the joy of moving and dancing. I will always love to move and dance.
Many friends and teachers are in this video - I thank you for being part of my happy memory ? --

The Portland Trail Blazers are finding the road more enjoyable lately.
Brandon Roy had 26 points and 11 assists and Channing Frye scored a season-high 20 points as Portland beat the Denver Nuggets 116-105 on Sunday night.
It was the Blazers' seventh straight win overall, and third straight victory on the road, where they had lost their first nine games of the season.
"We don't feel invincible, we feel comfortable and confident," Roy said. "Winning on the road is a sign of maturity."
Portland also ended a stretch of futility in Denver. The Blazers got their first win in Denver since Feb. 26, 2003, and snapped the Nuggets' nine-game home winning streak against Portland. Denver had won 15 of the last 17 meetings at home dating back to the 1999-2000 season.
"We've dropped a lot of monkeys this month," said Portland head coach Nate McMillan, whose team has beaten Utah twice in the past week.
The Blazers ended their losing ways in Denver with some hot shooting. They hit 55 percent of their shots, including a 10-for-13 performance by Frye.
"From the beginning to the end of the game they beat us up and down the court and did whatever they wanted to do on the offensive end," said Allen Iverson, who led Denver with 38 points. "They're playing with a lot of confidence having already won six in a row, and they just brought that momentum into here and they whipped us."
The Nuggets were hot early but cooled off in the second half when the Blazers stretched their 12-point halftime lead to 19 heading into the fourth quarter.
"We are getting shots from the work of other people," Frye said. "People are driving to the basket and leaving other people open. That's what is happening."
Carmelo Anthony struggled from the field again and finished with 19 points on 6-of-17 shooting, and Kenyon Martin had 14 for the Nuggets, who have lost two straight after a three-game winning streak.
The Nuggets trailed by as many as 21 before closing the gap in the fourth quarter. Iverson scored 16 points in the period, including a 3-pointer that cut the lead to 103-91 with 6:39 left.
The Blazers responded with a run of their own. Roy hit two layups and Travis Outlaw, who had 17 points, hit a couple of jumpers to increase the lead to 115-97 with 2:26 remaining.
"We expected we would be a good-shooting team from the start of the season," McMillan said. "We've been shooting the ball well during this stretch."
Portland made 58 percent of its shots in the first half and stayed hot from the field at the start of the third quarter. The Blazers went on an 11-0 run early in the second half -- capped by a 3-pointer from Steve Blake -- to extend their lead to 72-52 with 8:22 left.
"This team's been shooting the ball extremely well," Nuggets head coach George Karl said. "They've been finding a hot shooter almost every night."
Early, it was Frye who was hot. The forward scored 14 points on 7-for-8 shooting in the first quarter, and he also pulled down five rebounds for Portland, which took a 30-25 lead heading into the second quarter.
"Frye has shot the ball well the whole season," McMillan said. "Tonight he was on fire. He knocked down everything."
Game notes
The Nuggets had to move to the visitors locker room because of a fire in their locker room early Sunday morning. Karl said a dryer "blew up" in the home locker room around 2 a.m., and the fire department came in to put out a small fire. Karl said it could take up to two weeks for the water damage from the firemen's hoses to be repaired. In the meantime, road teams will use the NHL's visiting locker room. ... Blazers F LaMarcus Aldridge (plantar fasciitis) missed his fourth straight game. ... Portland had six players score in double figures. ... Roy's 11 assists tied a career high. The only other time he had 11 assists was Feb. 2, 2007, in Denver.
