最高法院于周五发布的一项临时命令，允许特朗普政府继续推进其大规模选民身份核查计划。
An order issued Friday by the Supreme Court temporarily allows the Trump administration to move forward with a mass voter verification system.
根据这项紧急命令，各州目前可以使用国土安全部（DHS）开发的“Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements”（简称SAVE）程序，来核实选民名单上的选民资格。
The emergency order allows states, for now, to use the Department of Homeland Security program, called Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, in their efforts to verify the eligibility of voters on their rolls.
据美联社报道，由于现行法律禁止各州在选举前90天内系统性地从选民名单中删除不合格选民，因此该命令对即将举行的中期选举的直接影响可能较为有限。各州是否使用SAVE程序完全是自愿的。
Because existing law blocks most states from systematically purging voters from their rolls within 90 days of an election, the immediate impact of Friday's order on the upcoming midterms is likely limited, the Associated Press reported. States' use of the SAVE program is voluntary.
该命令暂时搁置了联邦法官斯帕克尔·L·苏克纳南（Sparkle L. Sooknanan）在6月份作出的裁决——该裁决曾认定共和党政府修订后的SAVE程序违法。苏克纳南法官以该程序侵犯公民隐私权、可能导致无辜选民被从选民名单中删除为由，禁止其使用。
The court’s order puts on hold a federal judge’s June ruling that had deemed the Republican administration’s recently revamped version of SAVE illegal. U.S. District Court Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan had blocked the use of the tool, saying it violated Americans’ privacy rights and could result in voters being wrongly removed from the rolls.
自由派大法官推动最高法院加快处理紧急案件：一家联邦上诉法院拒绝暂停苏克纳南的裁决，因此特朗普政府向最高法院提出了上诉。
LIBERAL JUSTICE HAMMERS SUPREME COURT FOR FAST-TRACKING EMERGENCY DOCKET CASES A federal appeals court declined to pause Sooknanan's ruling, prompting the administration's appeal to the Supreme Court.
在特朗普总统签署行政命令、要求建立联邦选民登记系统并加强对邮寄投票资格的限制后，政府进一步推动了SAVE程序的推广。这些举措属于其打击选民欺诈行为的整体计划的一部分。
The Trump administration moved to expand SAVE after the president signed an executive order directing the creation of a federal voter registration list and imposed new restrictions on eligibility for voting by mail as part of a broader effort to combat voter fraud.
特朗普再次引发最高法院关于移民问题的争议：SAVE程序最初是根据1986年颁布的移民法创建的，该法律要求国土安全部协助联邦、州和地方机构防止政府福利被非公民领取。特朗普政府去年大幅扩展了该程序的查询功能；据美联社报道，截至目前已有至少6700万选民的信息通过该程序被核实。不过批评者担心，这一程序最终可能会将符合条件的选民从选民名单中剔除。

TRUMP REVIVES SUPREME COURT IMMIGRATION SHOWDOWN AFTER HOCHUL PARDON TORPEDOED FIRST CASE The SAVE program was created in 1986 under an immigration law mandating that DHS help federal, state and local agencies prevent government benefits from going to noncitizens. The Trump administration last year moved to significantly expand its search abilities. Since then, at least 67 million registrations have been scanned through the program, but critics, the AP says, worry it could end up purging valid voters from the rolls.
最高法院大法官凯坦吉·布朗·杰克逊与埃琳娜·卡根和大法官索尼娅·索托马约尔一同表示反对（即他们持异议）。

杰克逊在她的异议意见中写道：“在我看来，即使只是让少数合法选民承受负担或失去投票权，所造成的伤害，也远远超过了政府因被阻止采取某些可能本就无权采取的行动而遭受的‘伤害’（这种‘伤害’实际上并不存在）。这种权衡显失公平；再加上政府提出的论据本身也站不住脚，因此法院本应拒绝批准该中止诉讼的请求。”

"In my view… the harm caused by burdening or disenfranchising even a few lawful voters outweighs the nonexistent harm that the Government experiences when it is prevented from taking an action that it likely lacks the authority to take," Jackson wrote in a dissenting opinion. "This imbalance, along with the Government’s improbable merits arguments, should have compelled the Court to deny the stay." Fox News' Shannon Bream, Bill Mears, Ashley J. DiMella and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
