特朗普政府于周日向最高法院提起新的上诉，试图强制推行邮寄选票限制措施，而中期选举前各州已陆续开始寄出选票。
此次提交的申请请求高等法院暂缓美国地区法院法官因迪拉·塔尔瓦尼周五发布的初步禁令，该禁令阻止美国邮政总局在11月选举期间强制执行多项邮寄选票相关要求。
“北卡罗来纳州已经开始寄出选票，随着禁令继续生效，更多州将启动邮寄程序——包括9月9日开始邮寄的阿拉巴马州，以及至少5个将于9月13日当周启动邮寄的州，”美国副检察长约翰·绍尔写道。

“一旦这些选票信封进入邮件寄送系统，就无法追回了，”他补充道。
绍尔辩称，如果禁令继续生效，随着更多州开始邮寄选票，可能会“引发混乱和动荡”，因为遵守邮政总局新规的准备工作目前仍属于自愿而非强制行为。
政府方面坚称，该规则是“对国会委托给美国邮政总局的规则制定权的合法且适度的行使”，并且“监管的是美国邮政系统，而非联邦选举”。

根据提交的文件，该规则要求通过邮寄方式寄送的联邦选举选票必须使用带有官方选举邮件标识、符合自动化处理要求并附带唯一条形码的信封。各州选举官员还必须提交信封设计方案供审核，并向美国邮政总局提供预期选票收件人的相关信息。
政府方面表示，这些要求旨在改善选票邮件的处理和递送流程，并防止邮政系统被用于协助选民欺诈。

该规则不会赋予美国邮政总局决定谁有资格通过邮寄投票或选票是否应被计入的权力，这些职责仍将由州和地方选举官员承担。
由民主党领导的州和投票权利组织对这些限制措施提出质疑，称这些修改违反宪法，而选举官员则辩称，没有足够时间在11月前修订其系统以符合新规要求。

政府方面反驳了这些论点，称国会授予了美国邮政总局监管邮件处理和递送的广泛权力，且该规则并未规定选票内容、决定选民资格、设定选举截止日期或监管选票计票方式。
此次提交的申请是政府第三次请求最高法院介入此次争端。高等法院此前曾允许政府的计划推进，但尚未就这些限制措施本身是否合法作出裁决。

这场争端可能对11月的选举产生重大影响，届时国会控制权将面临角逐。近三分之一的美国选民通过邮寄方式投票。

The Trump administration filed a new appeal with the Supreme Court on Sunday seeking to enforce restrictions on mail ballots, as the ballots begin entering states across the country ahead of the midterm elections.
The filing asks the high court to stay a preliminary injunction issued Friday by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani that prevents the U.S. Postal Service from enforcing several requirements for ballot mail in the November elections.
“Ballots have already begun to be mailed in North Carolina, and more States will begin the mailing process as the injunction remains in place — including Alabama on September 9 and at least five States the week of September 13,” Solicitor General John Sauer wrote.

“Once those ballot envelopes enter the mailstream, there is no retrieving them,” he added.
Sauer argued that allowing the injunction to remain in place risks “sowing confusion and chaos” as more states begin mailing ballots because preparations to comply with the Postal Service rule remain voluntary rather than mandatory.
The administration maintains the rule is “a lawful and modest exercise of rulemaking authority delegated by Congress to the Postal Service” and “regulates the U.S. Mail, not federal elections.”

The rule requires federal election ballots sent through the mail to use envelopes that include the official Election Mail logo, meet automation requirements and carry unique barcodes, according to the filing. State election officials would also have to submit envelope designs for review and provide the Postal Service with information about intended ballot recipients.
The administration says the requirements are intended to improve the handling and delivery of ballot mail and protect the mail system from being used to facilitate voter fraud.

The rule would not give the Postal Service authority to determine who is eligible to vote by mail or whether ballots should be counted, responsibilities that would remain with state and local election officials.
Democratic-led states and voting rights groups challenging the restrictions contend the changes are unconstitutional, while election officials have argued there is not enough time to revise their systems to comply before November.

The administration disputes those arguments, saying Congress gave the Postal Service broad authority to regulate the handling and delivery of mail and that the rule does not dictate ballot content, determine voter eligibility, establish election deadlines or govern how ballots are counted.
The filing marks the third time the administration has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the dispute. The high court previously allowed the administration’s plan to move forward but has not ruled on whether the restrictions themselves are legal.

The battle could have major ramifications for the November elections, when control of Congress is at stake. Nearly one-third of U.S. voters cast ballots by mail.
