一名联邦法官阻止美国邮政署执行其落实唐纳德·特朗普总统邮寄选票行政令的计划,认定该提案违反了2020年针对该机构的一起诉讼案中的和解协议。

特朗普曾指示美国邮政署仅为那些向该机构提交邮寄选民名单、且其邮寄投票计划符合其他要求的州递送选票。此前,波士顿一名法官已叫停美国邮政署为24个在法庭上提出质疑的州执行该行政令。但来自华盛顿特区的美国地区法官埃米特·沙利文作出的新裁决则在全国范围内禁止了该项指令。

如果法院支持特朗普2026年3月发布的这项行政令,将赋予联邦政府在选举中前所未有的权力,还可能让特朗普政府官员手中掌握更多选民数据,用于所谓的选举欺诈调查。

沙利文的裁决源于全国有色人种协进会2020年针对美国邮政署提起的一起诉讼,起因是在疫情期间的选举临近之际,该机构出台的政策拖慢了邮件递送速度。2021年的和解协议要求该机构发布指导文件,详细说明其将如何优先“监控并及时递送选举邮件”。和解协议的部分内容赋予法院监督美国邮政署在该问题上行动的权力。

沙利文在周三的裁决意见中写道,根据美国邮政署落实特朗普行政令的拟议规则,若选票不符合行政令的要求,该机构将不会向选民递送选票。

沙利文称:“拟议规则违反了和解协议第2条,因为如果美国邮政署的政策规定其不会接受‘不合规邮件’,因此不会向部分选民递送邮寄选票或缺席选票,并且如果该机构将拒绝或未能提交名单的州的所有选民的选票都不予寄送,那么该机构就无法发布反映‘优先监控和及时递送选举邮件的做法和政策’的文件。”

特朗普的行政令还要求邮寄选票信封带有用于自动追踪的个性化条形码。这项政策被视为选举管理的最佳实践,但许多选区因此类变更的成本问题,可能难以落实。

该行政令还指示国土安全部从联邦数据库中汇编每个州的适龄公民选民名单,这引发了人们的担忧,即这些名单将被用于过度激进的选民清除行动。

“全国有色人种协进会此案的胜诉,是唐纳德·特朗普试图操纵选举的又一次重大打击,”全国有色人种协进会主席德里克·约翰逊说道。“总统正遭遇失败,人民正在取得胜利。”

美国有线电视新闻网已联系美国邮政署征求其对这项新裁决的置评。

US Postal Service cannot carry out Trump order on mail ballot delivery, judge rules

A federal judge blocked the US Postal Service from carrying out its plan for President Donald Trump’s mail ballot executive order, finding that the proposal violated a settlement in a 2020 lawsuit against the agency.

Trump had directed USPS to only transmit ballots for states that submit to the agency lists of their mail-in voters and that meet other requirements for their mail voting programs. Previously, a judge in Boston had halted the Postal Service from implementing the order for two-dozen states that challenged it in court. But the new ruling from US District Judge Emmet Sullivan, who sits in Washington DC, blocks the directives nationwide.

If courts let Trump’s order from March 2026 stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections — and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.

Sullivan’s order stems from a lawsuit the NAACP originally brought against the Postal Service in 2020 because of policy changes that slowed mail delivery as the pandemic election was approaching. A 2021 settlement required the agency to publish guidance documents detailing how it would prioritize “the monitoring and timely delivery of Election Mail.” Part of the settlement gave the court authority to oversee USPS’ actions on this issue.

Sullivan wrote in the Wednesday opinion that, under the agency’s proposed regulations for implementing the Trump executive order, ballots would not be delivered to voters if those ballots were not compliant with the executive order’s requirements.

“The Proposed Rule violates paragraph 2 of the Agreement because the Postal Service cannot post documents reflecting ‘practices and policies for prioritizing the monitoring and timely delivery of Election Mail’ if its policies provide that it will not accept ‘noncompliant mailing’ and therefore will not deliver mail-in or absentee ballots to some voters, and if it will not mail ballots to any voters in a state where the state ‘declines or fails to certify a list,’” Sullivan said.

Trump’s order would also require that mail ballot envelopes have individualized barcodes for automated tracking. That policy is seen as a best practice for election administration but one that many jurisdictions would face challenges in implementing, because of the cost of such a change.

It also directs the Department of Homeland Security to draw from federal databases to assemble lists of voting age citizens in each state, stoking fears that the lists will be used for overly aggressive voter purges.

“This ruling in favor of the NAACP’s case marks another major blow to Donald Trump’s attempt to rig the election,” said NAACP President Derrick Johnson. “The President is failing, and the people are winning.”

CNN has reached out to USPS for comment on the new ruling.
