联邦法官裁决：北卡邮寄选票限制维持到11月大选
位于北卡罗来纳州韦克县的Raleigh市，位于北卡罗来纳州首府 Raleigh 的联邦诉讼有了新进展。美国北卡中区联邦地区法院法官 Thomas D. Schroeder 周一（10月19日）裁定，驳回北卡退休人士联盟等原告的初步禁令申请，北卡州选举委员会此前通过的邮寄选票新限制将继续适用于11月大选。
新规包括签名核验要求，以及针对选民封口内信封时常见错误的纠正程序，由州选举委员会于9月4日通过。原告主张新规违反第十四修正案和1964年《民权法案》，不当增加了选民负担。法官指出，原告未能“明确证明”其主张可能成立，又指出原告9月22日才起诉，存在拖延；且最高法院要求下级法院通常不应在“选举前夕”修改选举规则，而北卡提前投票已经开始，本次选举并非“临近”，而是“已经开始”。
本案被告包括州选举委员会和 Durham 郡、Guilford 郡两郡选举委员会。原告律师来自 Patterson Harkavy 律所和 Elias Law Group 律所。目前裁决为初步禁令阶段，原告是否上诉尚未公布。（GSM 据 Bloomberg Government 报道，案号 1:26-cv-00965）

Federal Judge Keeps North Carolina Mail Voting Restrictions in Place for November Election
Raleigh is a city in Wake County, North Carolina. A federal judge in North Carolina ruled on Monday, October 19, that the state's new mail voting restrictions will remain in place for the November election. US District Judge Thomas D. Schroeder of the Middle District of North Carolina denied a motion for a preliminary injunction from the North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans and other plaintiffs.
The rules, adopted by the State Board of Elections on September 4, promote a signature-verification requirement and target mistakes voters make when sealing their ballots' inner envelopes. The plaintiffs claim the rules unduly burden the right to vote in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Schroeder said the plaintiffs had not made a “clear showing” that they are likely to succeed on the merits, admonished them for delaying their September 22 complaint, and noted that the US Supreme Court has instructed lower courts ordinarily not to alter election rules on the eve of an election — and that in North Carolina, through early voting, the election “has already started.”
The defendants include the State Board of Elections and the Durham County and Guilford County boards of elections. Patterson Harkavy LLP and Elias Law Group LLP represent the plaintiffs. The ruling is at the preliminary injunction stage, and whether the plaintiffs will appeal has not been announced. (GSM, via Bloomberg Government; case No. 1:26-cv-00965)
