8月11日（路透社）——一名联邦法官周二阻止美国邮政署执行唐纳德·特朗普总统的部分行政命令，该命令旨在在11月将决定国会控制权的大选前收紧邮寄投票规则。
美国地区法官因迪拉·塔尔瓦尼在波士顿作出的这一裁决，是特朗普推动扩大联邦政府对选举监督权限的最新挫折。

特朗普作为共和党人，于今年3月签署了这项行政令，此前他多年来一直呼吁收紧邮寄投票规则，并反复虚假声称自己在2020年大选失利是大规模选民欺诈所致。
这项行政令要求各州提供可领取邮寄选票的合格选民名单。如果各州不遵守，美国邮政署将拒绝递送选票。
此次裁决扩大了此前的禁令范围
周二的裁决实际上扩大了塔尔瓦尼6月发布的一项禁令的范围，该禁令原本阻止特朗普政府在23个以民主党为主的州执行这项行政令。
多个投票权组织要求法官进一步扩大禁令范围，彻底禁止美国邮政署在全美任何地方执行该命令。
在批准原告的请求时，民主党总统巴拉克·奥巴马任命的塔尔瓦尼写道，联邦政府的行政部门无权监管选举，这一职责由美国宪法分配给各个州。
“该（行政令）目前正在造成混乱，并威胁着加剧动荡以及削弱民众对我们民主制度的信任，”塔尔瓦尼写道，“选举权的重要性远远超过行政部门试图违宪地介入选举监管领域的行为。”
白宫以及代表联邦政府出庭的司法部均未立即回应置评请求。
特朗普寻求最高法院复审
特朗普政府已请求美国最高法院暂停塔尔瓦尼此前的裁决，辩称各州的诉讼为时过早，因为各机构尚未最终敲定执行特朗普行政令的计划。

美国最高法院目前由保守派大法官占据6比3的多数优势，尚未作出裁决。
在华盛顿特区民主党提起的类似案件中，联邦法院一名法官在5月拒绝立即叫停这项行政令，理由是美国邮政署尚未发布相关规则，此时叫停为时过早。
上诉法院维持了这一裁决。
塔尔瓦尼表示，此案如今已具备裁决条件，因为美国邮政署已提出一项规则，且选举日益临近。
“距离2026年11月3日中期选举已不足90天，这凸显了下达禁令的迫切必要性，以阻止被告（联邦政府）在选举前夕修改选举规则，”塔尔瓦尼写道。

- Order would have let USPS refuse ballot delivery if states withheld eligible voter lists
- Talwani expands June injunction from 23 mostly Democratic-led states to nationwide
- Trump asks Supreme Court to halt earlier ruling; justices have not yet ruled
Aug 11 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the U.S. Postal Service from implementing part of President Donald Trump’s executive order that aims to tighten rules for mail-in voting ahead of November elections that will decide control of Congress.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston marked the latest setback for Trump’s push to expand the federal government’s role in overseeing elections.

Trump, a Republican, signed his executive order in March after years of calling for tighter rules on voting by mail and pushing the false claim that his 2020 election defeat was the result of widespread voter fraud.
The executive order called on states to provide lists of eligible voters who may receive mail ballots. If states did not comply, USPS would have refused to deliver the ballots.
RULING EXPANDS ON PREVIOUS ORDER
Tuesday’s decision effectively expanded on an earlier order Talwani issued in June that prevented Trump’s administration from implementing it in 23 mostly Democratic-led states.
Several voting rights groups asked the judge to go further and bar the USPS altogether from implementing the order anywhere in the nation.

In granting the plaintiffs’ request, Talwani, an appointee of Democratic President Barack Obama, wrote that the executive branch of the federal government had no authority to regulate elections, a responsibility that the U.S. Constitution assigns to individual states.
“The (executive order) is presently causing confusion and threatening both increasing chaos and an erosion of trust in our democracy,” Talwani wrote. “Enfranchisement heavily outweighs the executive’s attempt to unconstitutionally insert itself into the domain of election regulation.”
Neither the White House nor the Justice Department, which represents the federal government in court, immediately responded to requests for comment.
TRUMP SEEKS SUPREME COURT REVIEW
The Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to put Talwani’s earlier decision on hold, arguing the states’ case was premature as agencies had not yet finalized plans to implement Trump’s order.

The top U.S. court, where conservative justices hold a 6-3 majority, has not yet ruled.
In a similar case brought by the Democratic Party in Washington, D.C., federal court, a judge in May declined to immediately block the executive order, finding it would be premature to do so because the USPS had not yet issued its rule.
An appeals court affirmed that decision.
Talwani said the case was now ripe for a decision because the USPS had proposed a rule, and the election was closer.
“That it is now less than 90 days before the November 3, 2026 midterm elections underscores the critical need for an injunction to prevent Defendants (the federal government) from changing election rules on the eve of the election,” Talwani wrote.
