弗吉尼亚州选举公告引争议:前州众议员 Tim Anderson 称地方官员可拒绝司法部监票员入场

弗吉尼亚州前众议员 Tim Anderson 称,该州选举部与总检察长 Jay Jones 办公室 10 月 15 日发布的 10 页《2026 年大选地方选举官员公告》告知地方选举官员,他们可以拒绝普通司法部监票员进入投票站。Anderson 10 月 16 日在 X 上公布了这份文件及逐页解读。
据 Anderson 称,公告还指示官员要求联邦探员离开投票场所并联系当地警方,记录探员的徽章编号、武器、车辆与动向,收集选民关于探员令其不安的投诉,并就挑战联邦传票征询律师意见;公告同时指出,弗吉尼亚已取消在投票站质疑选民资格的程序。
Potomac Local News 10 月 16 日就此联系了 Prince William 县、Manassas、Manassas Park、Fredericksburg 与 Stafford 的总登记官,均未获回复。这份公告发布前,Jones 于 10 月 13 日宣布在其办公室设立选民保护科。(GSM 据 Potomac Local News 报道)
Virginia Election Bulletin Sparks Dispute: Former Del. Tim Anderson Says Local Officials May Deny DOJ Monitors Access
Former Virginia Del. Tim Anderson says a 10-page bulletin issued Oct. 15 by the Virginia Department of Elections and Attorney General Jay Jones's office — titled "2026 General Election Bulletin for Local Election Officials" — tells local election officials they may deny ordinary Department of Justice monitors access to polling places. Anderson posted the document and a page-by-page summary on X on Oct. 16.
According to Anderson, the bulletin also directs officials to ask federal agents to leave polling locations and contact local police, document agents' badge numbers, weapons, vehicles and movements, collect complaints from voters who say agents frighten them, and consult attorneys about challenging federal subpoenas for election materials. It notes that Virginia has eliminated the ability to challenge a voter's qualifications at the polling place.
Potomac Local News contacted the general registrars of Prince William County, Manassas, Manassas Park, Fredericksburg and Stafford on Oct. 16 for comment; none replied. The bulletin follows Jones's Oct. 13 announcement of a Voter Protection Section in his office. (GSM, based on reporting by Potomac Local News)
