- 民主党认为该行政令侵犯各州选举管理权
- 特朗普的行政令要求联邦机构核实选民资格
- 诉讼提起于11月中期选举前夕
路透社纽约4月1日电——民主党方面周三提起诉讼，请求美国法官叫停唐纳德·特朗普总统在全国范围内收紧邮寄投票的行政令，称该命令不当干涉了各州组织选举的权力。
这份周二发布的行政令还要求特朗普政府编制一份每个州符合资格的已确认美国公民选民名单，并利用联邦数据协助各州选举官员核实选民资格。该命令同时要求仅向各州批准的邮寄投票名单上的选民寄送缺席选票。

作为共和党人的特朗普多年来一直散布虚假言论，称自己在2020年大选中败选是大范围选民欺诈所致，并在11月中期选举前呼吁收紧邮寄投票规则，届时他所在的政党将努力捍卫其在国会的微弱多数席位。
这场在华盛顿特区联邦法院提起的诉讼中，美国民主党全国委员会及其他党内机构表示，该行政令违法，因为美国宪法将规范选举的权力赋予各州和国会，而非总统。
民主党方面称，该行政令还将让美国邮政服务部门有权在选民不知情的情况下将其从资格名单中剔除。

“该行政令以专横的方式剥夺数百万美国人的投票权，非法加重了选民的投票负担，”由知名民主党选举律师马克·伊利亚斯代理的原告方在诉状中写道。
白宫未立即回应置评请求。特朗普周二表示，他不认为该行政令会在法庭上被成功推翻。
特朗普发布该行政令之际，参议院正在审议《拯救美国法案》，该法案要求选民登记时提供美国公民身份证明，投票时提供带照片的身份证件。该法案已于2月在众议院通过，但在参议院通过前景渺茫，共和党人缺少推翻民主党反对所需的60票。
民主党在诉讼中称，在明确《拯救美国法案》无法在参议院通过后，特朗普才签署了这份行政令。

- Trump’s order directs federal agencies to verify voter eligibility
- Lawsuit comes ahead of November midterm elections
NEW YORK, April 1 (Reuters) – The Democratic Party on Wednesday filed a lawsuit asking a U.S. judge to block President Donald Trump’s executive order tightening mail-in voting nationwide, arguing it improperly impedes states’ authority to conduct elections.
Tuesday’s order also directed 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 required absentee ballots to be sent only to voters on each state’s approved mail-in ballot list.

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.
In the lawsuit, filed in a Washington, D.C. federal court, the Democratic National Committee and other party entities said the order was unlawful because the U.S. Constitution gives the states and Congress, not the president, the authority to regulate elections.
The order would also give the U.S. Postal Service the discretion to exclude voters from the eligibility list without their knowledge, the Democrats said.

“The Executive Order unlawfully burdens the right to vote by threatening millions of Americans with arbitrary disenfranchisement,” wrote the plaintiffs, who are represented by prominent Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump said on Tuesday that he did not see how the order could be successfully challenged in court.
Trump’s order came as the Senate weighs the SAVE America Act, a bill that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID to cast a ballot. The bill passed the House in February but faces long odds in the Senate, where Republicans lack the 60 votes needed to overcome Democratic opposition.
In the lawsuit, the Democrats said Trump signed the executive order after it became clear that the SAVE America Act would not pass the Senate.
