4月30日（路透社）——阿拉斯加州州长迈克·邓利维周四否决了一项重大选举改革法案，理由是该法案存在“重大运营负担”以及未明确说明的法律质疑。
这项酝酿至少十年的法案，旨在允许缺席投票选民及其他选民追踪选票状态，查看选票被接收和计票的时间。

阿拉斯加民众今年将选举州长、副州长、美国国会议员及州议会议员。
该法案在州众议院和参议院均获得两党支持。
在一份声明中，这位共和党州长表示支持法案中的部分条款，但称该法案存在法律质疑。他未具体说明质疑内容，仅表示整体法案会带来“重大运营负担”，并可能危及阿拉斯加的选举进程。
“选举部门警告称，若要在2026年选举前安全、可靠地落实这些变革，即便不是完全不可能，也将极为困难，”邓利维在写给参议院议长的一封信中写道。

该法案由州参议院规则委员会牵头提出。委员会主席、民主党人比尔·维莱乔夫斯基未立即回应置评请求。
参议院少数党领袖、共和党人迈克·克朗克将该法案描述为一项良好的基准性法案，将惠及阿拉斯加的选举工作。
根据美国宪法，各州有权管理联邦选举。
阿拉斯加这项法案的筹备工作，早于美国部分州回应前总统唐纳德·特朗普及其他知名共和党人士提出的指控——这些人士声称各州在防范选民欺诈方面力度不足，尽管各州审计和学术研究均显示选民欺诈行为极为罕见。

April 30 (Reuters) – Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy on Thursday vetoed a major election reform bill, citing “significant operational burdens” and unspecified legal challenges.
The bill, at least a decade in the making, sought to allow absentee and other voters to track their ballot and see when it had been received and counted.

It also sought to expand acceptable voter identification, modify voter roll maintenance, change the absentee ballot timeline and create a rural community liaison position. Alaska is the least densely populated state in the U.S. and the largest by area.

Alaskans are set to hold elections this year for governor, lieutenant governor, the U.S. Congress and the state legislature.
The legislation had won bipartisan support in the state’s House of Representatives and Senate.
In a statement, the Republican governor expressed support for parts of the bill, but said the legislation contained legal challenges. He did not elaborate on what they were but said the bill as a whole would cause “significant operational burdens” and possibly jeopardize Alaska’s election process.
“The Division of Elections warns such changes would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to implement securely and reliably in advance of the 2026 elections,” Dunleavy wrote in a letter to the Senate’s president.

The bill was sponsored by the state’s Senate Rules Committee. The committee’s chair, Bill Wielechowski, a Democrat, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Senate Minority Leader Mike Cronk, a Republican, described the legislation as a good baseline bill that would benefit elections for Alaskans.
Under the U.S. Constitution, states are empowered to administer federal elections.
Work on the Alaska bill preceded moves by some states to address allegations raised by U.S. President Donald Trump and other high-profile Republicans who have asserted states are not doing enough to prevent voter fraud, even though state audits and academic studies have found fraud is rare.
