纽约4月19日路透电 — 密歇根州官员周日驳斥了美国司法部针对底特律地区选票及其他2024年选举相关材料的索要要求，指责特朗普政府试图质疑美国选举的公正性。
据密歇根州总检察长达娜·内塞尔称，司法部上周致函韦恩县书记员，索要选票、选票存根及选票信封。韦恩县是民主党倾向浓厚的底特律市所在地。

内塞尔的办公室公布了由助理总检察长哈米特·迪伦起草的司法部信件，同时发布了回应誓言将对抗该要求。
“这项要求既荒谬又毫无根据，”内塞尔在与密歇根州州长格蕾琴·惠特默和州务卿乔斯林·本森的联合声明中说道。
“如果本届政府想把这场闹剧带到我们州，我的办公室已准备好保护人民的投票权。”
内塞尔、惠特默和本森均为民主党人。共和党籍前总统唐纳德·特朗普长期以来一直宣称，他在2020年大选中败给民主党总统乔·拜登是大规模选民欺诈的结果。迪伦的信件聚焦2024年选举，辩称该选举同样需要审查。

但2020年选举仍是许多特朗普政府官员的主要关切点。在接受福克斯新闻《周日早间展望》节目采访时，联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔承诺，针对所谓2020年选举问题的逮捕行动“即将到来”。
在同一档电视节目中，迪伦称赞政府推动各州提供选民登记名单的努力，称司法部已就29个州和哥伦比亚特区拒绝提供选民名册的行为提起诉讼。
迪伦领导司法部民权司，她表示司法部工作人员迄今已审查了6000万条选民记录，发现其中包含35万名死者姓名。她未提供任何证据证明有人使用这些姓名投票。
此外，约2.5万名无法证明公民身份的人员已被移交国土安全部，“以进一步调查并查明人们投票的程度”，她说道。
司法部在获取选举相关记录的过程中多次遭遇法律挫败，法官在罗德岛州、加利福尼亚州、马萨诸塞州、密歇根州和俄勒冈州均驳回了其相关请求。
一名联邦法官周五驳回了司法部迫使罗德岛州交出近75万登记选民非公开数据的诉求，以便特朗普政府调查这个民主党主州的“选举公正性”。

- Michigan officials call DOJ ballot request baseless, vow to protect voting rights
- DOJ cites need to scrutinize 2024 elections, referencing unproven 2020 fraud claims
- Federal judges have repeatedly ruled against DOJ efforts to access state voter records
NEW YORK, April 19 (Reuters) – Michigan officials on Sunday pushed back on a U.S. Department of Justice demand for Detroit-area ballots and other materials related to the 2024 election, accusing the Trump administration of trying to cast doubt on the integrity of U.S. elections.
The Justice Department last week sent a letter demanding ballots, ballot receipts and ballot envelopes to the clerk in Wayne County, home to the heavily Democratic-leaning city of Detroit, according to Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

Nessel’s office released the DOJ’s letter, authored by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, along with a reply vowing to fight the request.
“This request is as absurd as it is baseless,” Nessel said in a joint statement with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
“If this administration wants to bring this circus to our state, my office is prepared to protect the people’s right to vote.”
Nessel, Whitmer and Benson are Democrats. President Donald Trump, a Republican, has long pushed the false claim that his 2020 election defeat to Democratic President Joe Biden was the result of widespread voter fraud. Dhillon’s letter focuses on 2024’s elections, arguing they too need scrutiny.

But the 2020 election remains a prominent concern for many Trump administration officials. In an interview with Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” program, FBI Director Kash Patel pledged that arrests over alleged 2020 election issues are “coming soon.”
On the same TV show, Dhillon touted the administration’s efforts to get states to provide access to voter registration lists, saying the department has sued 29 states and the District of Columbia over their refusal of access to voter rolls.
DOJ staffers so far have reviewed 60 million voter records and found they included the names of 350,000 dead persons, said Dhillon, who leads the Justice Department’s civil rights division. She did not provide any evidence that votes were cast for those names.
In addition, about 25,000 people who lacked proof of citizenship were referred to the Department of Homeland Security “to dig into that further and see the extent to which people voted,” she said.
The Justice Department has suffered multiple legal setbacks in its pursuit of election-related records, with judges ruling against requests in Rhode Island, California, Massachusetts, Michigan and Oregon.
A federal judge on Friday rejected the Justice Department’s bid to force Rhode Island to turn over non-public data on nearly 750,000 registered voters so the Trump administration could probe “election integrity” in the Democratic-led state.
