9月15日(路透社)——选举权利倡导者和选举官员周二表示,美国最高法院驳回总统唐纳德·特朗普限制邮寄选票的诉求,不太可能阻止他对邮寄投票的攻击,但他们现在更有信心,这些攻击不会扰乱11月的中期选举。

“一年前我比现在更害怕,”全投票无障碍组织(All Voting Is Local)执行主任汉娜·弗里德在周一最高法院阻止特朗普试图实施新的邮寄投票限制后说道。选举官员曾担心这些限制会在中期选举前引发混乱。

但她仍预计特朗普会 falsely 声称邮寄投票易受大规模欺诈影响,而选举官员和法院多次指出这种说法缺乏证据。

在周二的Truth Social帖子中,特朗普猛烈抨击最高法院的裁决,称美国正面临“完全腐败且失控的邮寄投票‘灾难’”。

特朗普提出的新规定原本要求各州提供选民特定数据,并使用经邮政服务批准的邮寄投票信封,这些信封将通过条形码进行追踪。随后,邮政服务可以拒绝寄出不符合新标准或与不在选民名单上的选民相关的选票。

邮寄投票已深深融入美国人的投票方式。根据美国选举协助委员会的数据,2024年总统大选期间约有4700万人通过邮寄投票,约占选民总数的32%。从全国范围来看,邮寄投票的选民更倾向于民主党:麻省理工学院选举数据与科学实验室的数据显示,2024年有37%的民主党人和24%的共和党人通过邮寄投票。

无党派选举创新与研究中心执行主任戴维·贝克尔表示,特朗普关于邮寄投票的虚假言论给当地选举官员带来了不必要的挑战。不过他指出,尽管数月来一直有人攻击邮寄投票,但今年的政党初选进展顺利。

当被问及是否担心特朗普的言论会给选举进程注入混乱时,贝克尔表示:“实际上我相当有信心不会出现这种情况。”

全国妇女选民联盟首席执行官塞利娜·斯图尔特表示,该组织的工作人员和志愿者正在全美50个州与选民沟通,而且更重要的是,特朗普对邮寄投票的攻击似乎促使更多人制定具体的投票计划,无论是通过邮寄还是亲自到场投票。

俄亥俄州共和党战略家马特·多尔表示,尽管特朗普在这个问题上发表了言论,但他预计不会有人在中期选举中广泛声称存在欺诈行为。

密歇根州奥克兰县书记员、首席选举管理员莉萨·布朗表示,选民的主要担忧只是邮寄投票是否仍将是一种选择,而非其合法性。

当被问及是否担心特朗普会在其政党失去国会参众两院任一或两院控制权时,为自己在11月的选举中声称存在欺诈行为埋下伏笔,布朗指出,他之前的指控从未得到证实。

“他在2020年就提出过欺诈指控,从来没有任何证据证明这一点。那次选举是准确、安全且公平的,”她说。“他可以随心所欲地提出任何主张。这不会改变我们选举程序的安全性和准确性。”

Sept 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court’s rejection of President Donald Trump’s bid to restrict mail-in ballots is unlikely to stop his attacks on voting by mail, voting-rights advocates and election officials said on Tuesday, though they are more ​confident now those efforts will not disrupt November’s midterm elections.

“I was more scared a year ago than I am ‌now,” said Hannah Fried, executive director of All Voting Is Local, a voting-rights advocacy group, after the Supreme Court on Monday blocked Trump’s attempt to impose new restrictions on mail-in ballots that election officials feared would cause chaos in the run-up to the midterms.

But, she still expected Trump to falsely claim that ​bail-in ballots were vulnerable to widespread fraud, an assertion that election officials and the courts have repeatedly found lacks evidence.

In ​a Truth Social post on Tuesday lashing out at the Supreme Court ruling, Trump said the ⁠U.S. had a “totally CORRUPT and out of control Mail-in voting ‘disaster.’”

Trump’s proposed new regulation would have required states to provide voter-specific data and ​use Postal Service-approved mail-ballot envelopes that would be tracked using barcodes. The Postal Service could then refuse to send out ballots that ​did not comply with the new standards or were associated with voters who do not appear on the lists.

Mail voting is deeply embedded in how Americans cast ballots. Some 47 million people, roughly 32% of the electorate, voted by mail in the 2024 presidential election, according to the U.S. Election Assistance ​Commission. Nationally, mail voting skews Democratic: 37% of Democrats and 24% of Republicans voted by mail in 2024, per the MIT Election ​Data and Science Lab.

David Becker, executive director of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research, said Trump’s false claims about mail-in voting have created ‌unnecessary challenges ⁠for local election officials. Still, he noted that this year’s party primaries had all gone smoothly, despite months of attacks on voting by mail.

Asked if he feared Trump’s rhetoric could inject chaos into the electoral process, Becker said “I’m actually rather confident it won’t.”

Celina Stewart, CEO of the League of Women Voters, said the organization’s staff and volunteers were speaking with voters in all 50 states and that, ​if anything, Trump’s attacks on ​mail-in voting appeared to be ⁠motivating more people to make concrete plans to cast a ballot, whether by mail or in person.

Matt Dole, a Republican strategist in Ohio, said that despite Trump’s rhetoric on the issue, he did not ​anticipate widespread claims of fraud in the midterms.

Lisa Brown, clerk of Michigan’s Oakland County, the chief ​election administrator, said ⁠voters’ main worry was simply whether mail voting would remain an option, not its legitimacy.

Asked whether she was concerned Trump had laid the groundwork to claim fraud in November should his party lose control of one or both chambers of Congress, Brown noted that his previous allegations ⁠were never ​substantiated.

“He made claims of fraud in 2020. There was never any proof of ​that. That election was accurate, secure, and fair,” she said. “He can make whatever claims he wants. It doesn’t change how secure and accurate our process is.”
