特朗普政府周一向最高法院提出请求，要求冻结下级法院针对一项邮寄投票改革行政令的禁令。[1]该行政令旨在大幅改革邮寄投票制度，规定仅向列入州公民身份名单的人员发送邮寄选票。[1]司法部主张时间紧迫，称任何新政策必须在8月前到位才能在11月选举前生效。[1]
由民主党主导的23个州及哥伦比亚特区已对该行政令提起诉讼，主张宪法赋予各州和国会制定选举规则的权力。[1]马萨诸塞州法官在6月裁定暂停其实施。[1]上诉截止日期定为8月3日。[1]
特朗普在3月下令政府创建"州公民身份名单"以确定合格选民。[1]特朗普声称邮寄投票"本质上腐败"，尽管他本人曾使用邮寄投票。[1]根据布鲁金斯学会2025年的研究，每1000万张邮寄选票中仅约4起欺诈案件。[1]在2024年总统选举期间，约30%的选票以邮寄方式投出。[1]
The Trump administration petitioned the Supreme Court on Monday to allow an executive order overhauling the mail-in voting system to take effect. [1] The order would restrict mail-in ballots to individuals whose names appear on state citizenship lists. [1] The administration faces legal opposition from 23 states led by Democrats and the District of Columbia, which argue that the Constitution grants states and Congress the authority to establish election rules. [1]
A federal judge in Massachusetts has already blocked implementation of the order, prompting the Justice Department to request that the Supreme Court freeze the lower court's injunction. [1] D. John Sauer, chief of staff to the attorney general, emphasized the urgency of the timeline, stating that any new policy must be in place by August to take effect before the November elections. [1] The appeal deadline is set for August 3. [1]
The executive order stems from a March directive by Trump ordering the government to create a "state citizenship list" to identify eligible voters. [1] During the 2024 presidential election, approximately 30 percent of votes were cast by mail. [1] According to a 2025 Brookings Institution study, mail-in voting fraud is rare, with only about four cases of fraud per ten million mail-in ballots cast. [1] Despite his claims that mail-in voting is "inherently corrupt," Trump has personally used mail-in voting himself. [1]
