独家报道： 一名保守派众议院共和党人正寻求在11月中期选举前制定全面的新选举透明度措施。
南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员拉尔夫·诺曼将于周四提出一项立法，要求一个名为美国选举援助委员会的小型联邦机构建立一个公共数据库，披露运行联邦选举的私营供应商的基本信息。
诺曼的《选举基础设施完整性法案》将要求新数据库在选举后30天内报告所有私营选举供应商的名称、供应商合同详情及其所有权结构，包括必须披露任何外国关联。
正在竞选南卡罗来纳州下任州长的诺曼辩称，他这项以透明度为重点的立法对于打击试图干预美国选举的外国对手是必要的。据多份报告称，俄罗斯、中国和伊朗都试图影响2024年总统选举的结果。

如果不创建透明度数据库，该立法的支持者表示，立法者和选举官员可能会对构成该国选举基础设施的供应商中是否存在外国资金或潜在外国关联一无所知。
“美国人民应该确切地知道谁在管理他们的选举，”诺曼在一份声明中表示，“外国对手并没有袖手旁观。他们正在积极寻找利用我们系统弱点的方法。”
该立法将适用于2026年的选举以及未来的每个选举周期。该措施还将切断对不遵守规定的任何州的联邦资金。
美国选举援助委员会是一个两党机构，负责认证投票硬件并向各州分配选举基础设施拨款。

众议院保守派对参议院共和党人与白宫的交易在《拯救法案》斗争中爆发愤怒
诺曼的立法可能面临被签署为法律的障碍，因为预计会遭到民主党议员的反对，他们多次批评共和党提出的选举完整性措施。
然而，众议院共和党人已经提出了多项与选举相关的提案，这些提案可能被纳入预期的预算协调法案中。众议院管理委员会提出的想法包括为各州提供资金，以核实选民登记数据和进行选举后审计。
随着国会共和党人推动通过特朗普支持的《拯救美国法案》，一系列选举完整性和透明度措施涌现。该立法将要求在联邦选举中出示公民身份证明，并在全国范围内实施选民ID等规定。

众议院通过的这项措施因民主党反对而在参议院停滞不前，预计无法获得足够的票数来克服上议院的60票门槛。
一些共和党人主张在仅共和党参与的预算协调法案中通过《拯救美国法案》的部分内容，但该立法策略的严格要求可能会破坏这一计划。
New GOP bill would require disclosure of foreign ties in election vendors | Fox News
Rep. Ralph Norman, who is running for South Carolina governor, says foreign adversaries are ‘actively looking for ways to exploit weaknesses’ in elections

EXCLUSIVE: A conservative House Republican is seeking to enact sweeping new election transparency measures before November’s midterm elections.
Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., will introduce legislation Thursday requiring a small federal agency, known as the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, to establish a public database that would disclose basic information about private vendors running federal elections.
Norman’s Election Infrastructure Integrity Act would require the new database to report the names of all private election vendors, details of the vendor contracts, and their ownership structures, including the mandatory disclosure of any foreign ties, within 30 days of an election.
Norman, who is running to be South Carolina’s next governor, argues his transparency-focused legislation is necessary to combat foreign adversaries attempting to interfere with U.S. elections. Russia, China and Iran all sought to influence the outcome of the 2024 presidential election, according to multiple reports.

If a transparency database is not created, proponents of the legislation say lawmakers and election officials could be left in the dark about whether foreign money or potential foreign ties are present among the vendors that make up the country’s election infrastructure.
“The American people deserve to know exactly who is involved in administering their elections,” Norman said in a statement. “Foreign adversaries are not sitting on the sidelines. They are actively looking for ways to exploit weaknesses in our system.”
The legislation would apply to the 2026 elections and every election cycle in the future. The measure would also cut off federal funding to any state that does not comply.
The Election Assistance Commission is a bipartisan agency tasked with certifying voting hardware and distributing election infrastructure grants to states.

HOUSE CONSERVATIVES ERUPT OVER SENATE GOP, WHITE HOUSE DEAL AMID SAVE ACT FIGHT
Norman’s legislation could face obstacles to being signed into law due to anticipated opposition from Democratic lawmakers, who have repeatedly criticized GOP-authored election integrity measures.
House Republicans, however, have floated multiple election-related proposals that could be included in an anticipated budget reconciliation package. Ideas circulated by the House Administration Committee include granting funding to states for verifying voter registration data and conducting post-election audits.
The flurry of election integrity and transparency measures comes as congressional Republicans are pushing for the passage of the Trump-backed SAVE America Act. The legislation would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections and enact a nationwide voter ID among other provisions.

The House-passed measure has stalled in the Senate due to Democratic opposition and is not expected to get the votes to overcome the upper chamber’s 60-vote threshold.
Some Republicans have advocated for passing parts of the SAVE America Act in a GOP-only budget reconciliation bill, but the legislative maneuver’s stringent requirements could derail that plan.
