美国邮政局周四宣布,源于特朗普今年早些时候发布的行政令的新邮寄投票规则已立即生效,并将适用于今年11月的中期选举 1。根据新规,邮政局必须将选民信息与国土安全部及其他联邦记录进行比对,不得向被认定为不合格的登记选民投递选票 1。
美国最高法院周一裁定解除下级法院的禁令,至少直到邮政局开始实施该规则为止 1。随后,美国地区法官因迪拉·塔尔瓦尼(Indira Talwani)于周三解除了针对此项邮政服务变更实施的全国性禁令 1。与此同时,24个州及哥伦比亚特区在周三提起新诉讼,试图阻止这项限制今年中期选举邮寄投票的行政令 1。
The United States Postal Service confirmed on Thursday that new requirements for mail-in voting are now in effect 1. Stemming from an executive order issued by Trump earlier this year, the directive requires the postal agency to refrain from delivering ballots to registered voters deemed ineligible when compared to Department of Homeland Security and other federal records 1. These updated protocols apply to the midterm elections scheduled for this November 1.
On Monday, the US Supreme Court ruled that an injunction by a lower court should be lifted, at least until the postal service had begun implementing the rule 1. On Wednesday, US District Judge Indira Talwani lifted her nationwide block on the implementation of the postal service change 1. Two dozen states and the District of Columbia filed a fresh lawsuit on Wednesday to block the executive order restricting mail voting in this year’s midterm elections 1.
