特朗普政府周日向美国最高法院提出上诉,请求推翻联邦地区法官的裁决,以便实施针对邮件投票的限制措施1。此前,美国地区法官因德拉·塔尔瓦尼驳回了特朗普针对11月选举的行政令,并延长了禁止美国邮政局执行该令的命令1。这是特朗普政府第三次要求最高法院介入此事1。
多个民主党州和投票权团体反对这些限制,声称其违反宪法1。选举官员也表示,没有足够的时间调整系统以遵守新的美国邮政局指令1。目前北卡罗来纳州已开始邮寄选票,阿拉巴马州将于9月9日开始邮寄,至少五个州将于9月13日那一周启动1。美国大约三分之一的选民采用邮件投票方式1。法务总长约翰·索尔表示:"一旦这些选票信封进入邮流,就无法取回"1。
The Trump administration filed an appeal to the Supreme Court on Sunday challenging a federal judge's order blocking mail voting restrictions 1. The appeal marks the third time the administration has asked the nation's highest court to intervene in the matter 1.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani had previously extended an injunction preventing the U.S. Postal Service from implementing the administration's executive order related to the November election 1. Democratic-led states and voting rights organizations argue that the proposed restrictions violate the Constitution, while election officials have expressed concerns about having insufficient time to adjust systems to comply with new Postal Service directives 1. Attorney General John Sore stated: "Once those ballot envelopes enter the mail stream, they cannot be retrieved" 1. Several states are already in the process of distributing mail ballots, with North Carolina having begun mailing, Alabama set to start on September 9, and at least five states planning to begin in the week of September 13 1. Approximately one-third of American voters cast mail ballots 1.
