犹他州共和党参议员、激进保守派迈克·李抨击了那些抵制通过《拯救美国法案》（SAVE America Act）的民主党人和共和党人，此前一份报告发现，自2000年以来，全美各州有3万名非公民被“错误地”登记投票。
Firebrand conservative Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, slammed both Democrats and Republicans who have resisted passage of the SAVE America Act after a report found that 30,000 noncitizens were "mistakenly"ed to vote in states across the country since 2000.
路透社周三报道称，自2000年以来，有超过3万名自我声明的非公民被加入美国选民名册。该媒体将这些错误登记归因于“软件故障和文书错误”，并表示其审查表明这是“无意的官僚失误，而非有组织让移民非法投票的行为”。该媒体称，这引发了“关于要求提供公民身份证明进行选民登记的立法努力是否能消除这一问题的质疑”。
Reuters reported on Wednesday that more than 30,000 self-declared noncitizens were added to U.S. voter rolls since 2000. The outlet attributed the erroneous registrations to "software glitches and clerical errors" and said that its review suggested "inadvertent bureaucratic failures, rather than organized efforts to immigrants illegally." The outlet said that this raised "questions about whether legislative efforts to require proof of citizenship for voter registration would eliminate the issue."
然而，李参议员周三在参议院发言时表示，他今年早些时候提出了《拯救美国法案》，他说：“尽管我们有法律禁止非公民投票等行为，但这些法律已变得难以执行，实际上根本无法执行。”“他们声称从未发生的事情——选民欺诈或非公民投票——一次又一次、反反复复地发生，”他愤慨地说道。
However, while speaking on the Senate floor on Wednesday, Lee, who introduced the SAVE America Act earlier this year, said that "even though we have laws that prohibit things like noncitizen voting, those laws have been rendered difficult and essentially impossible to enforce." "That thing that they claim never happens, voter fraud or noncitizen voting, just keeps happening over and over and over again," he railed.
“‘选举舞弊的原材料’：专家指出选民名册问题远不止一个州” 路透社报道称，错误发生在加利福尼亚州、伊利诺伊州、爱荷华州、内华达州、俄亥俄州、俄勒冈州、宾夕法尼亚州、南达科他州、德克萨斯州、犹他州和弗吉尼亚州。该媒体表示，无法确定实际有多少非公民投了票，并进一步指出，这些数字并不精确，因为“州数据通常是暂定的，可能会被修正”。此前，新泽西州民主党州长米基·谢里尔披露，有6600名自我认定的非公民被登记投票，其中不足400人实际投了票。
‘RAW MATERIAL FOR ELECTION FRAUD’: EXPERT FLAGS VOTER-ROLL PROBLEMS FAR BEYOND ONE STATE Reuters reported that the errors occurred in California, Illinois, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Virginia. The outlet said it was unable to determine how many noncitizens actually cast ballots and further noted that the numbers are not precise because " state data is often tentative and subject to revision." This follows New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill's disclosure that 6,600 self-identified noncitizens wereed to vote and fewer than 400 of those individuals cast ballots.
李参议员将不合格选民登记和投票的问题归因于依赖“诚信制度”来自我证明选民资格。据国土安全部指控，超过25万非公民可能在4个关键州注册投票参考一家知名连锁餐厅的无限量供应优惠（要求顾客出示身份证），李表示：“在投票日于投票站实施选民欺诈，不应该比钻奥利维拉花园（Olive Garden）无限量意面通行证的空子更容易。”“然而，这正是我们今天面临的现状，”他说。
Lee attributed problems with ineligible voter registration and voting to reliance on the "honor system" for self-attestation of voter eligibility.
李提出的“拯救美国法案”（SAVE America Act）被作为解决方案。唐纳德·特朗普总统支持该法案，该法案已在众议院通过，但在参议院陷入停滞。
MORE THAN A QUARTER-MILLION NONCITIZENS MAY BEED TO VOTE IN 4 KEY STATES, DHS ALLEGES Referencing an all-you-can-eat deal at a popular chain restaurant that requires customers to show I.D., Lee said that "it should not be any easier for someone to get away with voter fraud at a polling location on voting day than it is to cheat Olive Garden through its never-ending pasta pass." "And yet, that's exactly where we are today," he said.
共和党全国委员会起诉新泽西州选举官员，指控其涉嫌隐瞒选民名册记录李辩称，该法案将通过要求登记者在登记时核实公民身份和资格，以及要求在投票站出示选民身份证和照片身份证，来解决不合格选民登记和欺诈投票两大问题。
Lee presented his SAVE America Act as a solution. President Donald Trump supports the bill, which passed the House but has stalled in the Senate.
遗产基金会选举诚信高级法律研究员唐·帕尔默在接受福克斯新闻数字版采访时表示：“这个故事确实证明，前进的一种方式就是简单地升级并帮助全国各地的驾照机构，在为选民提供服务时改进其公民身份核实工作。”
RNC SUES NEW JERSEY ELECTION OFFICIALS OVER ALLEGED WITHHELD VOTER ROLL RECORDS Lee argued that the bill would address both ineligible voter registration and fraudulent voting by requiring registrants to verify citizenship and eligibility at the time of registration and requiring voter I.D. and photo identification at the polls.
“抛开奥利维拉花园的玩笑不谈，我喜欢他们的食物，也非常乐意出示身份证。我认为问题在于，我希望驾照机构和州政府机构对待选民登记的严肃程度，能像对待意大利美食一样认真，”他调侃道。
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Don Palmer, senior legal fellow for election integrity at the Heritage Foundation, said that "this story really provides proof that one way forward is to simply upgrade and sort of help the driver's license agencies across the country improve their verification of citizenship while they're providing those services to voters." SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER "All joking aside with the Olive Garden scenario, I love their food and I'm more than happy to show the I.D., I think the issue is I wish that the driver's license agencies and state agencies would take voter registration as serious as Italian food," he quipped.
“我认为，利用数据库改进公民身份核实将是一种两党都能接受的方式，而且我认为这有一定的两党支持。因此，这可能是一条前进的道路，不一定非要出示公民身份证明文件，而是让我们改进驾照机构的公民身份核实，并完善真实身份证（Real ID）制度，”他说。
"I think that that would be a bipartisan way of improving that verification of citizenship with databases, and I think there's some bipartisan support for that. And so that might be a way forward, not necessarily, showing documentation of citizenship, but let's improve the driver's license agencies to verify citizenship, and let's improved real ID," he said.
