加利福尼亚州的一名联邦法官拒绝了司法部推动的一项紧急命令,该命令要求加州分离大约2万张选票,这些选票属于特朗普政府声称“可能”是非公民的个人。
“在美国历史上,联邦政府从未在选举前夕试图强迫州和地方政府放弃自己的宪法选举程序,屈从于行政部门的意志,”美国地区法官大卫·卡特在周三的命令中写道。
Judge rejects Trump administration request for order to segregate 20,000 California ballots
A federal judge in California has rejected the Justice Department's push for an emergency order to have California segregate roughly 20,000 ballots belonging to individuals the Trump administration has claimed are "likely" noncitizens.
"Never before in American history has the federal government, on the eve of an election, sought to coerce a state and local government to abandon their own Constitutional elections procedures and bend to the will of the Executive Branch," U.S .District Judge David Carter wrote in his Wednesday order.
