11月6日，美国将举行2018年的中期选选举。这其中有很多利害关系，而且选举结果将塑造美国政治面貌，至少在这几年内。大选两天后，我们邀请您了解结果以及接下来的即将发生的事。

来参加我们的讲座吧！我们会向您展示美国政府系统的运作机制以及进行对中期选举结果的分析。美国的435个众议院席位和100个参议院席位中的35个都会参与改选。同时进行的是三十九个州和地方的州长以及许地方各州、县举行的立法和行政机构选举。您可以了解更多关于控制国会、三权分立的意义所在。

即使你对政治不感兴趣，你也可能会惊讶于个人投票的重要性。比如在最近的一些美国大选中，获胜者的优势比较微弱，有时只有几百票。最后，我们希望11月8日星期四晚上7点在林肯大厅见到您~

On November 6, Americans will vote in the 2018 midterm elections. There is a lot at stake, and election results will shape U.S. politics for at least the next few years. Two days after the election, we invite you to learn about the results and what happens next. Join us for a presentation on how the U.S. system of government works and an analysis of the midterm election results. All 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be contested. Thirty-nine state and territorial governorship as well as numerous other state and local elections will also be contested. You can learn more about what it means to take control of Congress and the separation of powers between Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court. Even if you aren’t interested in politics, you might be surprised to learn how much an individual vote can matter. In some recent U.S. elections, winners were decided by very small margins, sometimes by only a few hundred votes. We hope to see you in Lincoln Hall at 7PM on Thursday, November 8.
