美国邮政总局关注

华盛顿6月24日电(路透社)——美国邮政总局负责人周三为总统唐纳德·特朗普要求各州提供已领取邮寄选票的选民名单的计划进行辩护。

美国邮政署长戴维·施泰纳在参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会听证会上表示,根据该提案,在州官员拒绝遵守规定的州,美国邮政总局将不会递送选票。

“这项拟议规则实质上是胁迫各州遵守这些新要求,交出他们的缺席选民名单,否则将面临无法通过邮寄方式投票的后果,”委员会资深民主党议员加里·彼得斯说道。“这是不可接受的。”

施泰纳辩称,该计划将提高效率,并效仿许多州目前正在实施的做法。美国邮政总局正在确保“我们将各州认为应寄出的选票与实际寄出的选票进行匹配”。

该提案将要求各州向美国邮政总局提供与联邦选举邮寄选票相关的姓名和条形码。该提案还要求各州为寄出和寄回的选票信封添加唯一条形码,称这“将有助于确保遵守联邦法律,并助力执法工作”。

所有47名民主党参议员周三致信美国邮政总局,敦促该机构放弃该计划,称这是“将美国邮政总局转变为由白宫和特朗普总统控制的选举管理机构的违宪且非法的企图”。

民主党参议员埃莉莎·斯洛特金表示,施泰纳是特朗普痴迷于掌控选举的“棋子”。“你(正被特朗普)利用,”斯洛特金说道。“他不承认他输掉的选举是合法选举。”

这项拟议规章源于特朗普3月份的行政命令,该命令旨在严格限制邮寄投票,尽管他并未提供证据,但称邮寄投票极易引发欺诈。

上周,一名美国法官表示,由民主党领导的州和投票权组织可以继续提起诉讼,挑战这项邮寄投票行政命令。

特朗普的命令指示国土安全部从公民身份和入籍记录以及其他联邦数据库中提取信息,编制并向各州发送一份符合资格在每个州投票的已确认美国公民名单。

WASHINGTON, June 24 (Reuters) – The head of the U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday defended a plan demanded by President Donald Trump to ​require states to provide lists of voters who received mailed ballots.

U.S. Postmaster ‌General David Steiner said at a U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing that, under the proposal, USPS would not deliver ballots in states where officials refuse to comply.

“The proposed rule basically ​coerces states to conform to these new requirements and hand over their absentee ​voter rolls, or face the consequences of not being able to vote ⁠by mail,” said Senator Gary Peters, the top Democrat on the committee. “That’s unacceptable.”

Steiner argued the ​plan would be more efficient and mirror what many states are currently doing. USPS is ​making sure “we match the ballots that a state believes they’re sending out to what actually gets sent out.”

The proposal would require states to provide the USPS the names and barcodes tied to their mail-in ​ballots for federal elections. It would also require states to provide unique barcodes applied to ​the outbound and return ballot mail envelopes, saying it “will help determine adherence to federal law and facilitate ‌law ⁠enforcement efforts.”

All 47 Democratic senators wrote a letter to the Postal Service on Wednesday, urging the agency to drop the plan, calling it an “unconstitutional and illegal attempt to transform USPS into an election administration agency controlled by the White House and President Trump.”

Democratic Senator Elissa ​Slotkin said Steiner is ​a “pawn” in Trump’s obsession ⁠to take over elections. “You are being used (by President Trump),” Slotkin said. “He does not believe elections that he loses are valid elections.”

The proposed ​regulation stems from Trump’s March executive order that aimed to severely ​restrict mail-in ⁠voting, which he has said is prone to fraud, without providing evidence.

Last week, a U.S. judge said Democratic-led states and voting rights groups could proceed with lawsuits challenging the mail-in voting ⁠order.

Trump’s order ​directs the Homeland Security Department to compile and transmit ​to states a list of confirmed U.S. citizens eligible to vote in each state, derived from citizenship and naturalization ​records and other federal databases.
