一家美国主要报纸的报导概述了对阿富汗总统选举中存在大量投票舞弊、以帮助阿富汗总统卡尔扎伊赢得连任的指责。
纽约时报星期一援引未透露姓名的阿富汗和西方国家官员的话说，卡尔扎伊的支持者捏造了多达800个假投票站，从中获得数十万张伪造选票。
纽约时报说，有些投票站统计出的投给卡尔扎伊的票数可能是实际投票人数的10倍。
阿富汗独立选举委员会说，由于普遍存在舞弊的指控，全国各地有近500个投票站的选票作废。
部分选举结果显示，卡尔扎伊获得了48.6%的选票，而他的主要竞选对手阿卜杜拉的得票率为31.7%。记票结果是根据对阿富汗全国大约75%的投票站的选票统计得出的。
候选人需要获得半数以上的选票才能避免决选。
A report in a major U.S. newspaper outlines allegations of massive voting fraud committed to help Afghan president Hamid Karzai win re-election.
The New York Times Monday quotes unnamed Afghan and Western officials saying Mr. Karzai’s supporters created as many as 800 fake polling stations that produced hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes.
The Times says the votes counted for Mr. Karzai at some polling stations may be 10 times higher than the number of people who actually voted.
Afghanistan’s Independent Election Commission says votes from nearly 500 polling stations across the country have been invalidated due to allegations of widespread fraud.
Partial election results show that Mr. Karzai has 48.6 percent of the vote, while his main challenger Abdullah Abdullah has 31.7 percent. The count is based on returns from about 75 percent of the country’s polling sites.
A candidate needs to win more than 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff.
