| 75 | There's nothing that makes them concede. | 没有什么能让他们承认的 |
| 76 | It's just a norm in a year in which nothing is normal. | 这仅仅是在一无是处的一年中的一种规范. |
| 77 | So what if a losing candidate simply refused to concede? | 如果一个失败的候选人拒绝承认呢? |

| 79 | Well, what could happen might terrify you. | 可能发生的事会让你害怕 |

| 81 | First, to give you the background, let's make sure we're all on the same page here. | 首先,为了让大家了解背景,让我们确保大家在这里都站在同一页上. |
| 82 | Let me give you this analogy. | 让我给你这个类比。 |
| 83 | Think about a presidential election as a baseball game, the end of the ninth inning. | 想想总统选举作为棒球比赛,第九局结束. |
| 84 | Whoever is ahead wins, whoever is behind loses. | 谁先胜谁后败. |
| 85 | That's baseball. | 这是棒球。 |
| 86 | But could you imagine a different world in which in baseball, there were actually 13 | 但是,你能想象一个不同的世界 在棒球里,实际上有13个 |
| 87 | innings or 14 innings, not just nine, but we just had a weird tradition. | 14英寸,不只是9英寸, 但我们有一个奇怪的传统。 |
| 88 | If you're behind in the ninth inning, you just come out and concede. | 如果你在第九局落后 你就出来承认 |
| 89 | All right. | 好吧,我们走。 |
| 90 | So all those other innings don't matter. | ┮┮Τㄤ薄猵常⊿Τ闽玒 |
| 91 | That's really how the presidential elections work in America, because the constitution | 美国的总统选举就是这样的 因为宪法 |
| 92 | actually spells out two different sets of innings. | 其实是两组不同的插图 |
| 93 | You got the popular election process that everybody pays attention to, and then you've | 你得到了大众选举过程 每个人都会注意, 然后你有 |
| 94 | got the elite selection process that everybody essentially ignores. | 得到了精英选择过程 基本上每个人都忽略。 |
| 95 | In a close election, if nobody concedes the second invisible process, these extra innings, | 在一次临近的选举中,如果没有人承认第二个无形的过程, 这些额外的内幕, |
| 96 | if you will, they actually matter a whole lot. | 如果你愿意,它们其实很重要。 |
| 97 | Let me explain. | 让我解释一下 |
| 98 | That first set of innings, popular election, it's what you think about when you think about | 这是你思考的时候所想到的 |
| 99 | the presidential election. | 总统大选。 |
| 100 | It's the primaries, the caucuses, the debates, the conventions, it's election night. | 初选,核心小组,辩论,大会,选举之夜. |
| 101 | It's all that stuff. | 就是这样 |
| 102 | Most of the time, the loser on election night at that point just concedes. | 大部分时间,选举之夜的失败者 刚刚承认。 |
| 103 | Why? | 为什么? |
| 104 | The American people have spoken. | 美国人民已经发言了。 |
| 105 | All of that. | 这一切。 |
| 106 | But according to the constitution, the game is technically not over. | 但根据宪法,游戏在技术上并没有结束. |
| 107 | After the cameras go away, after the confetti swept away, the constitution requires this | 摄像头消失后 画像卷走后 宪法要求这样 |
| 108 | whole other set of innings, these elite selection process stuff. | 这些精英的挑选过程 |
| 109 | And this is all behind closed doors. | 这都是闭门的 |
| 110 | It's among government officials. | 在政府官员中. |
| 111 | And this process goes from the end of the vote counting in November through December | 从11月的计票结束到12月 |
| 112 | all the way into January. | 一路进入一月。 |
| 113 | You just never think about it because for so many generations, these extra innings haven't | 你从不考虑,因为这么多代人, 这些额外的内幕没有 |
| 114 | mattered much because the election night loser just concedes. | 因为选举之夜的失败者 承认了这一点 |
| 115 | So this other stuff's just a formality. | 所以,其他的东西只是一个形式。 |
| 116 | Even in 2000, Vice President Al Gore gave up as soon as the Supreme Court ordered an | 即使在2000年,副总统阿尔·戈尔也一经最高法院下令立即放弃。 |
| 117 | end to the vote counting. | 结束计票。 |
| 118 | Gore did not continue the fight into the state legislatures, into the Electoral College, | 戈尔没有继续战斗 进入州立法机构, 进入选举学院, |
| 119 | into Congress. | 进入国会。 |
| 120 | He didn't try to discredit the results in the press. | 他并没有试图在媒体中抹黑结果. |
| 121 | Frankly, he didn't send his supporters out into the streets with protest signs or pitchforks | 老实说,他没有把支持者送上街 带着抗议标志或草叉 |
| 122 | or long guns. | 或者长枪 |
| 123 | As soon as the court said the vote count is done, he just conceded to George W. Bush. | 法庭一说计票完毕,他就向乔治·W·布什让步. |
| 124 | Because that's what we do. | 因为这就是我们要做的。 |
| 125 | That's just kind of how we do things around here. | 我们这里就是这样做事的 |
| 126 | You don't fight in the extra innings until maybe 2020, when one major candidate is already | 直到2020年,一个大候选人已经是 |
| 127 | saying he may not accept the results of the vote counting. | 表示不接受计票结果. |
| 128 | Curse you, 2020. | 诅咒你,2020年。 |
| 129 | So what could happen instead? | 那么会怎样呢? |
| 130 | Instead of conceding, a losing candidate could launch a ferocious fight to grab power anyway | 输了的选手不是放弃 而是发动激烈的争斗来夺权 |
| 131 | or to hold on to power anyway. | 或者保持权力 |
| 132 | In the courts, yes, but also in the state houses, Electoral College, even in Congress, | 在法院,是的,但是在州议会,选举学院,甚至国会, |
| 133 | they could file, for instance, dozens of lawsuits attempting to block the counting of millions | 比如说,他们可以提起数十起诉讼 试图阻止计票 |
| 134 | of mail-in ballots, saying they should all be thrown out, they're all fraudulent. | 说他们都该被扔出去 都是假的 |

| 136 | alleged fraud or interference from a foreign power. | 指控外国的欺诈或干预。 |
| 137 | Or the losers party could send a rival slate of electors to the Electoral College or to | 或者失败的政党可以把一大批选民 送到选举院或选举院 |
| 138 | Congress and say, no, we're the real electors and create a whole situation with that. | 国会和说,不,我们是真正的选举人 并创造了一个整体的情况。 |
| 139 | Any of this stuff could create such a mess in the Electoral College and the Congress | 任何这些东西都可能给选举学院和国会造成混乱 |
| 140 | that the whole matter just winds up in front of the House of Representatives for the first | 整个事情刚刚结束 在众议院面前的第一个 |
| 141 | time since the 1800s. | 从1800年代开始 |
| 142 | Now here's where it gets totally crazy. | 现在这里变得很疯狂 |
| 143 | If the presidential election winds up in the Congress, in the House of Representatives, | 如果总统选举在国会、众议院结束 |
| 144 | they don't have to pay any attention at all to the popular vote or the electoral vote. | 他们根本不需要关注民众投票或选举。 |
| 145 | It's like the election never happened. | 这就像选举从来没有发生过。 |
| 146 | And then it gets even crazier. | 然后就更疯狂了 |
| 147 | The final tally in the House is taken not by delegates, but by delegation. | 众议院的最后清点不是由代表,而是由代表团进行。 |
| 148 | In other words, individual Congress people don't get to vote. | 换句话说,个别国会人民没有投票权. |
| 149 | It's done by states. | 由诸州所作. |
| 150 | Now, get your head wrapped around this. | 现在,把你的头包起来。 |
| 151 | In 2020, the majority of Americans live in blue states, but there are more red states. | 2020年,大多数美国人生活在蓝色州,但也有较多的红色州. |
| 152 | So there's a possibility that the Republicans in the House of Representatives could just | 所以众议院的共和党人有可能 |
| 153 | anoint their candidate to be president, even without the popular vote or a majority in | 抹杀他们的总统候选人, |
| 154 | the Electoral College. | 选举学院。 |
| 155 | That could happen. | 这有可能发生。 |

| 157 | coup against the very idea of majority rule in the United States. | 反对美国多数统治思想的政变。 |
| 158 | That is possible under our Constitution, and it could happen this year. | 根据我国《宪法》,这是可能的,而且今年有可能发生。 |
| 159 | So what can you do about it? | 那你能怎么办? |
| 160 | Okay, now keep in mind, if the margin of the victory is so massive, truly massive, the | 好了,现在记住,如果胜利的边缘 如此巨大,真正巨大的, |
| 161 | losing candidate's political party is going to walk away and just let their leader go | 失去候选人的政党会走开 让他们的领袖走 |
