司法部将向犹他州派遣联邦选举观察员
犹他州副州长 Deidre Henderson 10月22日在社交媒体宣布，美国司法部已通知该州，将在11月3日中期选举前向犹他州派遣联邦选举观察员，但未说明具体人数和将前往哪些地点。Henderson 同时公布了观察员须遵守的规则：必须遵守犹他州关于投票站观察员的法律、向选举工作人员表明身份、不得接近或与选民交谈；不得佩戴向选民表明身份的徽章或标志、不得携带武器、不得干预选举活动。
司法部发言人对《华盛顿观察家报》表示：“我们将在包括犹他州在内的全部50个州开展司法部数十年来一直在做的常规选举监督工作。所有观察员必须符合同样的法律与道德要求，包括不得干预投票程序。”此次部署是特朗普政府8月宣布的全国约1000名选举观察员计划的一部分，政府称这一数字可能创共和党政府历来纪录。作为对比，拜登政府时期司法部在2024年大选向86个辖区、2022年中期选举向64个辖区派遣了观察员；特朗普第一任期2020年大选则派遣至44个辖区。
Henderson 此前曾拒绝联邦政府索取该州未删减选民名册的要求，该名册包含社保号码等依法须保密的个人信息；司法部随后对犹他州提起诉讼，并对她展开调查。犹他州过去在 2018 年、2022 年与 2024 年选举中，曾在 San Juan County 接受过司法部监督员进驻。
Justice Department to Send Federal Election Monitors to Utah
Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson announced on social media on October 22 that the U.S. Department of Justice has notified the state it will deploy federal election monitors to Utah ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, without specifying how many or which locations they will visit. Henderson outlined the rules the monitors must follow: they must comply with Utah laws governing poll watchers, identify themselves to election workers, and refrain from approaching or speaking to voters; they may not wear badges or insignia identifying them to voters, carry weapons, or interfere with election activities.
'We will be in all 50 states, including Utah, doing the routine election monitoring the department has done for decades,' a Justice Department spokesman told the Washington Examiner. 'All monitors must meet the same legal and ethical requirements, including that they not interfere with the voting process.' The deployment is part of the Trump administration's plan, announced in August, to send approximately 1,000 election monitors nationwide, a figure the administration touted as likely a historic number for a Republican administration. By comparison, the Justice Department under President Biden deployed monitors to 86 jurisdictions in the 2024 presidential election and 64 jurisdictions in the 2022 midterms, while President Trump's first term sent monitors to 44 jurisdictions in 2020.
Henderson had previously refused a federal demand for the state's unredacted voter rolls, which contain Social Security numbers and other information that must be kept confidential by law; the Justice Department then sued Utah and opened an investigation into her. Utah previously hosted Justice Department monitors in San Juan County during the 2018, 2022 and 2024 elections.
