法官对司法部要求发布限制令的请求表示怀疑。负责审理司法部要求加州将约两万张属于其声称“可能”不是公民的个人的选票隔离的诉讼的联邦地区法官，对司法部在距州选举仅一周时寻求紧急行动的努力表示怀疑。
The judge appeared skeptical of the DOJ's request for a restraining order. The federal district judge overseeing the Justice Department's lawsuit asking California to segregate roughly 20,000 ballot belonging to individuals it claims are "likely" noncitizens appeared skeptical of the DOJ's efforts to seek emergency action just a week from the state's election.
美国地区法官大卫·O·卡特周二在法庭上表示，他打算指定一名特别主事官，调查司法部编制所谓2万名可能非公民名单的过程，这对特朗普政府试图迅速干预选举的企图造成了挫折。
U.S. District Judge David O. Carter said in court Tuesday he intends to appoint a special master to probe DOJ's process that led it to compile the list of alleged 20,000 likely non-citizens, dealing a setback to the Trump administration's attempt to quickly intervene in the election.
卡特法官在听证会结束时未对司法部针对该州的临时限制令请求作出裁决，尽管他对司法部试图在选举后期强加他描述为加州选举持续管理中“重大变革”的举动表示怀疑。卡特告诉双方，他打算在明天之前就案件后续程序作出某种裁决。
Judge Carter did not rule by the conclusion of the hearing on the DOJ request for a temporary restraining order against the state, though he appeared skeptical of the department's late-stage attempt to force what he described as a "monumental change" in California's ongoing administration of its election. Carter told the parties he intends to issue some kind of ruling governing proceedings on the case moving forward by tomorrow.
由特朗普任命的加州中央区美国检察官办公室有争议的领导人比尔·埃塞利在听证会上辩称，政府只是推动加州遵守禁止非公民投票的联邦法律。
Bill Essayli, a controversial Trump-installed leader of the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Central District of California, argued in the hearing that the administration was simply pushing for the state to be in compliance with federal law barring non-citizens from casting votes.
但州官员和其他反对司法部诉讼的法律倡导者反驳称，该诉讼违反了长期以来规定各州对其选举拥有控制权的宪法原则，并可能在未来几周统计最终选票时给该州带来混乱的后果。
But state officials and other legal advocates opposing the DOJ lawsuit countered that the litigation violated longstanding Constitutional principles mandating that states have control over their elections -- and could have chaotic consequences for the state in tabulating final vote counts in the weeks ahead.
值得注意的是，在结束听证会时，卡特法官似乎对政府最近向加州各地州官员发出的信件表示训诫，信中暗示如果他们参与统计可能来自所谓可能非公民名单的选票，可能会被起诉。
Notably in closing out the hearing, Judge Carter appeared to admonish the administration over its recent letters to state officials around California suggesting it could prosecute them if they are involved in tabulating ballots that could be from the list of alleged likely noncitizens.
卡特说：“本法院认为，任何针对州和县民选官员的威胁立即停止将是明智之举。晚安。”
"This court believes it would be wise that any threats to state and county elected employees cease immediately," Carter said. "Good night."
周一，联邦上诉法院驳回了美国司法部提出的要求加州将其名单上的2万张选票搁置的请求，并将案件发回地区法院。
On Monday, a federal appeals court rejected a request from the DOJ to issue an order requiring California to set aside the 20,000 ballots from its list, kicking the back to the district court.
本月早些时候，美国司法部对加州提起诉讼，指控该州未能审查所谓的非公民名单；特朗普政府声称，这些非公民被寄送了下周中期选举的邮寄选票。
Earlier this month, the DOJ filed suit against California, accusing the state of failing to review the list of alleged noncitizens that the Trump administration claimed were sent mail-in ballots for next week's midterm election.
在上周早些时候提交的法庭文件中，洛杉矶官员表示，对这份2万人名单上200个名字的初步分析显示，其中“很高比例”的人自称在美国出生，还有更多的人完全没有投票记录。
In court papers filed earlier last week, Los Angeles officials said a preliminary analysis of 200 of the names on the 20,000-person list, included a "high percentage" of individuals who say they were born in the U.S. and many more who have no voting history at all.
