弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格声称,特朗普政府正试图剥夺海外服役美国人的邮寄投票权——尽管美国邮政总局的最终规则明确将军人及海外选票排除在新要求之外。

这场争议的核心是美国邮政总局(USPS)的最终规则,该规则明确将受《海外军人与海外公民投票法案》(UOCAVA)管辖的选票排除在新的联邦邮寄选票要求之外——不过一名由奥巴马任命的联邦法官周四暂时叫停了该规则的关键条款。

“如果你在海外为国服役,我认为你应该有权在选举中投票。特朗普政府正试图剥夺这一权利,”斯潘伯格于8月29日在X平台上写道。

最终规则表示,《海外军人与海外公民投票法案》覆盖的选民被排除在外,并解释说这种区别对待反映了军人、其家属及其他海外选民所面临的处境。

在主播沃尔夫·布里茨提出弗吉尼亚州海外服役军人可能受到影响的可能性后,斯潘伯格在CNN采访中提出了类似观点。CNN随后在节目中澄清,《海外军人与海外公民投票法案》管辖的选票不受美国邮政总局新规则的约束。

“我们看到特朗普政府持续发起的攻击,实际上只是为了让人们感到恐惧,让他们待在家里,在很多情况下,就是要消除一种有效、安全、可靠的方式,让人们能够表达自己的意见并参与投票,”她说。

布里茨补充说,弗吉尼亚州是“大量军人的所在地,如果他们想表达意见,完全依赖邮寄选票”。

斯潘伯格表示认同,她提到军人和外交服务人员,称政府的行动不仅影响到他们,还影响到其他认为邮寄投票“是更好选择”的弗吉尼亚州民众。

斯潘伯格未回应置评请求,但当记者联系到CNN时,一名代表表示布里茨已于周一在节目中更正了相关内容。

“周五,我采访了弗吉尼亚州民主党州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格。我们讨论了对特朗普政府关于邮政总局邮寄投票指令的法律挑战,”布里茨在更正声明中说。

“有一条评论可能暗示美国军人和海外选民的选票会受到这些指令的影响——我现在想明确说明,这些选票不受实施总统2026年3月行政令的邮政总局新规则的约束。这些群体受《海外军人与海外公民投票法案》保护,关于这一点我想具体说明一下。”

在斯潘伯格与布里茨的交流推文下方附加的X平台社区注释也提及了此次更正。

“军事和海外选民的《海外军人与海外公民投票法案》选票明确豁免于实施2026年3月行政令的美国邮政总局规则;海外服役人员仍可通过联邦明信片申请表进行选民登记/申请缺席投票,”注释写道。

多名用户也反驳了斯潘伯格的说法,并援引联邦法规以及美国邮政总局自身的规则作为依据。

还有人称这位州长涉嫌“撒谎”,并指出作为前中央情报局官员,她本应知晓《海外军人与海外公民投票法案》。

犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李注意到了她最初的推文,回应称他曾“多次”与特朗普讨论海外军人投票问题,并表示特朗普一直明确表示,他不想干涉海外服役美国人的邮寄投票权。

“这完全是错误的,”李在推文中写道。

最高法院在8月作出了对特朗普总体有利的程序性裁决,在认定各州当时的诉讼为时过早后,搁置了早前的禁令。

该裁决并未就政府邮寄投票政策的合法性作出实质判决。美国优先法律主席吉恩·汉密尔顿此前告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,最高法院阻止了政府在各机构敲定具体政策前被“禁止思考”。

最高法院在认定政府关于诉讼为时过早的论点很可能成立后,搁置了一名法官早前的禁令,但斯潘伯格最新提出的临时限制令又设置了一道新的障碍。

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger claimed the Trump administration was attempting to take away the ability of Americans serving overseas to vote by mail — despite the Postal Service’s final rule explicitly exempting military and overseas ballots from its new requirements.

The Postal Service’s (USPS) final rule at the center of the dispute expressly exempts ballots covered by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) from the new federal ballot-mail requirements — though an Obama-appointed federal judge temporarily stayed key provisions of the rule Thursday.

“If you are serving our country abroad, I believe that you should have the ability to cast a vote in our elections. The Trump Administration is attempting to take that ability away,” Spanberger wrote on X on Aug. 29.

The final rule says UOCAVA voters are excluded and explains that the separate treatment reflects the circumstances facing military personnel, their families and other overseas voters.

Spanberger made a similar argument during a CNN interview after anchor Wolf Blitzer raised the possibility that Virginia military personnel overseas could be affected. CNN subsequently returned on air to clarify that UOCAVA ballots are exempt from the new USPS requirements.

“The continued attacks that we’re seeing from the Trump administration [are] really just an effort to get people fearful, to get to stay home, and in many cases, to eliminate what is a valid, safe, secure way for people to be able to make their voices heard and to vote,” she said.

Blitzer added that Virginia is home to “a lot of military personnel who totally rely on mail-in ballots if they want to be able to express their opinion.”

Spanberger agreed, pointing to members of the military and diplomatic services, saying the administration’s actions were impacting them along with other Virginians who find vote-by-mail “a better option.”

TRUMP SCORES SUPREME COURT WIN ON MAIL-IN VOTING RESTRICTIONS BEFORE MIDTERMS

Spanberger did not respond to a request for comment, but when reached, a representative for CNN said Blitzer issued an on-air correction Monday.

“On Friday, I interviewed the Democratic governor of Virginia, Abigail Spanberger. We discussed legal challenges to the Trump administration’s directives for the Postal Service on mail-in voting,” Blitzer said in the correction.

“A comment that may’ve suggested that U.S. military and overseas voters’ ballots would be impacted by these directives — I want to be clear right now, those ballots are exempt from the Postal Service’s new rules implementing the president’s March executive order. Those groups are covered under [UOCAVA], just to be specific on that point.”

An X community note added as an appendix to Spanberger’s tweet of her exchange with Blitzer also surfaced the correction.

“Military and overseas voters’ UOCAVA ballots are explicitly exempt from the USPS rules implementing the March 2026 executive order; service members abroad can still register/request absentee ballots via the Federal Post Card Application,” it read.

Several users also pushed back and cited federal statute as well as the USPS’ own rule.

Others said the governor was allegedly “lying” and suggested she should know of UOCAVA as a former CIA officer.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, picked up on her original tweet, responding that he had personally discussed overseas military voting with Trump “many times” and said Trump had consistently made clear he did not want to interfere with Americans serving abroad voting by mail.

“This is completely false,” Lee tweeted.

The Supreme Court in August handed Trump a largely favorable procedural ruling, staying an earlier injunction after finding that the states’ challenge was premature at that stage.

The ruling did not decide the legality of the administration’s mail-voting policies on the merits. America First Legal President Gene Hamilton previously told Fox News Digital that the court prevented the administration from being effectively “enjoined from thinking” before agencies had settled on concrete policies.

The Supreme Court stayed a judge’s earlier injunction after concluding the administration was likely to prevail on its argument that the challenge was premature, but her latest temporary restraining order sets up yet another speed bump.
