跟进：司法部起诉加州 要求法院阻止计入逾2万名被指非公民选民的邮寄选票

Sacramento——美国司法部10月15日正式起诉加州，请求联邦法官下令阻止该州计入一批选民寄回的邮寄选票。据路透社报道，诉讼已提交至美国加州中区联邦地方法院：司法部要求，在移民身份核实完成之前，加州不得在联邦选举中计入其名单上逾20,000名选民寄回的邮寄选票；司法部称，名单上的人「很可能为非公民」。这批选票涉及11月3日举行的中期选举。

这起诉讼是司法部本周早些时候48小时通牒的后续。本站10月13日曾报道，司法部代理副部长R·特伦特·麦科特（R. Trent McCotter）分别致函加州州务卿雪莉·韦伯（Shirley Weber）与洛杉矶县选民登记官迪恩·洛根（Dean Logan），限州、县在48小时内审查一份名单；名单以一只设有密码的U盘送交洛县，司法部称名单上的人很可能为非公民、且已被寄出邮寄选票。函件要求：名单上选民寄回的选票应单独隔离、在公民身份确定前不得计票；尚未寄出的选票应暂缓寄出，直至身份获确认。麦科特在函中写道：「让非公民投票，会抵消公民的选票。」

据《华盛顿检查者报》对诉状的报道，司法部在诉状中称，国土安全部发现有数千名「很可能为非公民」的人登记为选民、将按加州制度自动收到邮寄选票；联邦政府早在今年7月即已提醒韦伯审查相关名单，但「加州没有认真着手处理」。韦伯周三回应称，特朗普总统与国土安全部长马克韦恩·马林（Markwayne Mullin）7月时曾宣称加州选民名册上有19万名非公民，该说法至今未经证实；州方要求对方说明其数据方法与来源时，对方拒绝提供。

据《今日美国》报道，洛根此前表示，其办公室没有打开随函附送的U盘，称打开它与隐私和信息安全规程相冲突。路透社称，截至周四发稿，韦伯与洛根的办公室均未立即回应就这起诉讼的置评请求。司法部发言人此前表示，非公民在美国联邦选举中投票属联邦犯罪，司法部要求加州确保这种情况不会发生。

美国宪法将选举管理的职责赋予各州，联邦政府负有部分监督职能。11月3日中期选举将决定国会两院控制权，共和党正力守其在两院的微弱多数。此案接下来由联邦法官审理，加州是否提出异议、法院是否在选前发出命令，将决定名单上逾两万张邮寄选票的计票命运。本站10月13日的前篇报道为《司法部致函加州州务卿：限48小时核查所谓非公民选民名单》，本篇为该事件的跟进。

Follow-Up: DOJ Sues California, Asking Court to Block Counting of Mail Ballots From More Than 20,000 Alleged Noncitizen Voters

SACRAMENTO — The U.S. Justice Department sued California on October 15, asking a federal judge to block the state from counting mail ballots returned by a group of voters. According to Reuters, the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, asks the court to bar California from tabulating, in federal elections, vote-by-mail ballots received from more than 20,000 voters on a Justice Department list until their immigration status is verified. The department says the people on the list are likely noncitizens. The ballots are for the November 3 midterm elections.

The suit follows a 48-hour ultimatum the department issued earlier this week. As GSM reported on October 13, acting Deputy Attorney General R. Trent McCotter wrote to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber and Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder Dean Logan giving state and county officials 48 hours to review a list of names. The list was delivered to Los Angeles County on a password-protected thumb drive; the department said the people named were likely noncitizens who had been sent mail ballots. The letters demanded that returned ballots from voters on the list be segregated and not tabulated until citizenship was determined, and that ballots not yet sent be withheld until status was confirmed. McCotter wrote in the letter: "Allowing noncitizens to vote cancels citizen votes."

According to the Washington Examiner's account of the filing, the Justice Department says the Department of Homeland Security found thousands of likely noncitizens registered to vote who would automatically be mailed ballots under California's system, and that the federal government alerted Weber to the names in July but California made no serious effort to review them. Weber responded on Wednesday that President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin claimed in July that California had 190,000 noncitizens on its voter rolls — claims she said remain unsubstantiated — and that when the state asked for the methodology and data sources behind them, the request was refused.

USA Today reported that Logan has said his office did not open the thumb drive sent with the letters, saying doing so conflicted with privacy and information-security procedures. Reuters said neither Weber's nor Logan's office immediately responded to requests for comment on the lawsuit on Thursday. A Justice Department spokesperson has said that voting by noncitizens in U.S. federal elections is a federal crime and that the department is asking California to ensure it does not occur.

The U.S. Constitution assigns responsibility for administering elections to the states, with the federal government holding some oversight role. The November 3 midterms will decide control of both houses of Congress, where Republicans are defending narrow majorities. Whether California contests the suit and whether a judge issues an order before the election will decide the fate of more than 20,000 mail ballots. GSM's earlier report, published October 13, was headlined "Justice Department Gives California Secretary of State 48 Hours to Review Alleged Noncitizen Voter List"; this article is a follow-up to that report.
