联邦法官下令联邦政府停止以刑事指控相威胁，针对的是地方和州选举官员在处理选票中的角色。
The order comes after election officials received letters demanding they set aside the ballots of possible non-citizen voters. By Grace Eliza Goodwin A federal judge has ordered the federal government to stop threatening local and state election officials with criminal charges over their role in processing election ballots.
加州法官裁定，司法部必须停止要求地方和州选举官员搁置或不处理特定选票，特朗普政府声称这些选票可能来自非公民。
The California judge ruled that the Department of Justice (DoJ) must stop demanding that local and state election officials set aside or not process certain ballots that the Trump administration alleges may come from non-citizens.
此裁决在中期选举前几天作出，中期选举将决定哪个政党控制美国国会，任期为唐纳德·特朗普总统任期最后两年。
The ruling comes days before the midterm elections, which will determine which political party controls the US Congress for the last two years of Donald Trump's presidency.
特朗普周六批评该裁决，写道：“他们为什么要拒绝修正选举舞弊？” 本月早些时候在加州，司法部向州务卿和洛杉矶县选民登记官发送信函，要求他们搁置2万名已登记选民的选票，特朗普政府“认为”这些人“很可能”是非公民，据法庭文件显示。
Trump criticised the ruling on Saturday, writing,"Why would they reject fixing Election Fraud?" In California earlier this month, the justice department sent letters to the secretary of state and Los Angeles County Registrar demanding they set aside the ballots of 20,000 registered voters whom the Trump administration "believe" are "likely" non-citizens, according to court documents.
大约一周后，国土安全部武装官员向加州各县官员和雇员送达信函，威胁如果不隔离这些选票将面临刑事指控。
About a week later, armed officials from the Department of Homeland Security delivered letters to county officials and employees across California threatening criminal charges if they didn't sequester those ballots.
特朗普称美国选民舞弊“猖獗”——证据表明极为罕见 但有关团体表示，他们无法遵守这些要求，因为必须遵循州和联邦法律规定的选举程序。一名法官介入并驳回了该要求，写道这将在选举中“造成巨大混乱”。
Trump says US voter fraud is 'rampant' - evidence suggests it is extremely rare But the groups said they could not comply with those demands because they must follow election procedures required by state and federal law. A judge weighed in and tossed the demand, writing it would "wreak havoc" in the election.
大致同一时期，据报道司法部开始对县选举官员展开刑事调查，发出联邦大陪审团传票。
Around the same time, the justice department reportedly began a criminal investigation into county election officials, issuing federal grand jury subpoenas.
民权团体和代表选举工作人员的工会提起法律诉讼，指控司法部干涉其履行选举管理职责。特里娜·汤普森法官下令政府停止相关行动。
Civil rights groups and unions representing election workers filed a legal complaint, accusing the justice department of interfering in their duty to administer the election. Judge Trina Thompson ordered the administration to halt their actions.
汤普森法官写道：“尽管被告声称其行动旨在阻止非公民非法投票，但其行动极有可能产生干涉选举管理和剥夺合法选民投票权的效果。”
"Although Defendants claim that their actions are designed to halt unlawful voting by noncitizens, their actions are likely to have the effect of interfering with election administration and disenfranchising lawful voters," Judge Thompson wrote.
根据汤普森法官的命令，特朗普政府向华盛顿州发送了类似的关于涉嫌非公民选民的信函，并要求该州州务卿停止处理选票。
The Trump administration sent a similar letter about alleged non-citizen voters to Washington state and demanded that the secretary of state there cease processing the ballots, according to Thompson's order.
这些举动是特朗普及其政府多年来为打击其认为普遍存在的所谓选民欺诈而发起的运动的一部分，尽管研究表明此类欺诈极为罕见。
The maneuvers are part of a yearslong campaign by Trump and his administration to fight alleged voter fraud that they believe is widespread, despite research showing that it is extremely rare.
在11月3日的中期选举前夕，总统对投票安全性表示怀疑——指控邮寄投票和非公民投票存在“猖獗”作弊行为。总统还承诺，向在美国举报并最终导致定罪的选民欺诈案件者提供100万美元（约合75万英镑）奖金。
Ahead of the midterm elections on 3 November, the president has cast doubt on the security of the vote - alleging "rampant" cheating in postal voting and non-citizens voting. The president also offered a $1m (£750,000) reward to people who report cases of voter fraud in the US which lead to a conviction.
然而，研究表明实际案例极为罕见。BBC核实报道称，遗产基金会的数据库显示，2005年至2025年间仅有24起非公民因投票被定罪的案件。
Studies, however, suggest actual cases are extremely rare. BBC Verify reported that the Heritage Foundation's database identified 24 cases of non-citizens being convicted for voting between 2005 and 2025.
特朗普在周六的帖子中批评了近期针对其政府涉嫌选举欺诈指控的裁决，并誓言将继续为“选举公正”而战。指南：什么是美国中期选举？
