华盛顿5月14日路透电 — 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普签署的收紧邮寄投票规则的行政令将于周四迎来首场重大司法考验，一名联邦法官将听取民主党律师的主张，他们认为该行政令违宪，会剥夺数百万符合资格选民的投票权。
华盛顿的一场庭审定于美国东部时间下午2点（格林尼治标准时间18:00）举行，此次诉讼由民主党领导层提起，旨在阻止这项3月31日签署的行政令生效。

此案的原告包括参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默、众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯以及民主党全国委员会。
该诉讼已分配给特朗普任命的美国地区法官卡尔·尼科尔斯，他大概率会在日后发布书面裁决。
作为共和党人的特朗普多年来一直宣扬虚假言论，称自己在2020年大选中败选是普遍存在的选民欺诈行为所致，他还呼吁在11月中期选举前收紧邮寄投票规则，届时他所在的政党将努力捍卫其在国会的微弱多数席位。

他的行政令要求其政府编制一份每个州符合投票资格的已确认美国公民名单，并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每个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。
周四即将审理的此案已另外两起挑战特朗普行政令的诉讼合并，这两起诉讼由投票权益组织提起。
由民主党州检察长联盟提起的类似诉讼目前正由波士顿的一名联邦法官审理。
美国司法部辩称，这些诉讼“为时过早”，因为联邦机构尚未落实特朗普的行政令。

WASHINGTON, May 14 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order tightening rules on mail‑in voting faces its first major court test on Thursday when a federal judge will hear arguments by Democratic Party lawyers that it is unconstitutional and would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.
A court hearing in Washington is set for 2 p.m. ET (1800 GMT) in a lawsuit brought by Democratic Party leaders seeking to block the March 31 executive order.

The case was brought by plaintiffs including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and the Democratic National Committee.
The litigation has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, who is likely to issue a written decision at a later date.
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, when his party will be trying to defend its narrow majorities in Congress.

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 case being argued on Thursday has been consolidated with two other lawsuits challenging Trump’s executive order brought by voting rights groups.
A similar lawsuit brought by a coalition of Democratic state attorneys is pending before a federal judge in Boston.
The Justice Department has argued that the lawsuits are “premature” because federal agencies have not yet implemented Trump’s executive order.
