路透社波士顿4月3日电——由民主党州检察长组成的联盟周五宣布，他们将提起诉讼，挑战美国总统唐纳德·特朗普收紧邮寄投票规则的新行政令。
这场在波士顿联邦法院提起的诉讼，进一步加剧了针对特朗普周二签署的这项行政令的法律挑战浪潮；民主党相关机构和投票权倡导者也在推进相关诉讼。

这起诉讼由22个州和哥伦比亚特区的检察长，以及民主党籍宾夕法尼亚州州长乔希·夏皮罗共同提起。
“自由公平的选举是我们民主的基石，没有任何总统有权单方面修改选举规则，”民主党籍纽约州检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯在一份声明中说道。
白宫未回应置评请求。
作为共和党人的特朗普多年来一直宣扬虚假言论，称自己2020年大选失利是大范围选民欺诈所致，并呼吁在11月中期选举前收紧邮寄投票规则。

他的行政令要求其政府编制一份符合资格的美国公民名单，这些公民可在每个州参与投票，并要求利用联邦数据协助各州选举官员核实选民资格。
该行政令还要求美国邮政总局仅向各州批准的邮寄投票名单上的选民递送选票。各州还必须将选举相关记录保存五年。
州检察长们认为，特朗普的行政令违反了美国宪法，并通过指示美国邮政总局基于各州无法控制的标准阻拦选票递送，非法干预了邮寄投票。
他们表示，如果允许这项行政令生效，各州将被迫在11月前匆忙全面修改选举制度，引发混乱，并可能剥夺符合资格的选民的投票权。
特朗普还一直在敦促国会通过《拯救美国法案》，该法案要求选民登记时提供美国公民身份证明，投票时提供带照片的身份证件。该法案已于2月在众议院获得通过，但在参议院通过的可能性渺茫。

BOSTON, April 3 (Reuters) – A coalition of Democratic state attorneys general announced on Friday they are filing a lawsuit challenging U.S. President Donald Trump’s new executive order tightening rules on mail‑in voting.
The lawsuit being filed in federal court in Boston added to the rising number of legal challenges taking aim at the order Trump signed on Tuesday, with cases also being pursued by arms of the Democratic Party and voting rights advocates.

The case was filed by attorneys general in 22 states and the District of Columbia and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat.
“Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and no president has the power to rewrite the rules on his own,” New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, said in a statement.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
Trump, a Republican, has for years pushed the false claim that his 2020 election defeat was the result of widespread voter fraud and has called for tighter rules on voting by mail ahead of the November midterm elections.

His executive order directs his administration to compile a list of confirmed U.S. citizens eligible to vote in each state and to use federal data to help state election officials verify who is eligible to vote.
It also requires the U.S. Postal Service to only deliver ballots to voters on each state’s approved mail-in ballot list. States must also preserve election-related records for five years.
The state attorneys general argue Trump’s order violates the U.S. Constitution and unlawfully interferes with mail-in voting by directing USPS to block the delivery of ballots based on criteria outside the states’ control.
They said allowing Trump’s order to stand would force states to rush to overhaul their election systems before November, causing chaos and likely disenfranchising eligible voters.
Trump has also been pressing Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, a bill that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID to cast a ballot. The bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives in February but faces long odds in the Senate.
