(中央社華盛頓4日綜合外電報導)美國期中選舉今天展開,但關於郵寄投票的規定混亂不明,郵寄選票已經陸續發出,總統川普同時施壓法院允許他實施全面的新限制,規範郵寄選票的處理方式。

法新社報導,北卡羅來納州成為第一個授權開始寄出選票的州,正式拉開這個選舉季的序幕,這場選舉將於11月3日迎來高峰,將決定川普任期最後兩年的國會掌控權。

然而,由於川普請求最高法院恢復一名聯邦法官擋下的相關限制,各州也忙著準備因應可能在投票開始後才出現的變動,選民與選務官員仍不清楚數以百萬計的郵寄選票將適用哪些規定。

除了這個爭議外,還有吹哨者出面指控,美國郵政管理局(U.S. Postal Service)新的驗證系統倉促上路,沒有經過充足測試,可能因為一個條碼出現問題,導致整批選票延誤或甚至作廢。

一名聯邦法官昨天警告,倉促的變更可能引發大規模的混亂後,今天延長先前對川普計畫發布的臨時禁令。

據報導,法官塔爾瓦尼(Indira Talwani)告訴一名為限制措施辯護的律師:「我們不是在玩智力謎題遊戲。」她的這段發言受到媒體廣泛報導。她說:「我們談論的是人民的投票權。」

Open Questions

  • 最高法院是否會批准川普的限制請求?
  • 郵政管理局的新系統是否會導致選票延誤?
