加州州长纽森宣布部署选举律师监测计票：逾800名投票观察员与134名律师进驻五个关键国会选区
美国加利福尼亚州州长 Gavin Newsom 10月28日晚宣布，将部署由选举法律师与投票观察员组成的团队，在11月3日大选期间监测全州计票，重点覆盖第6、第13、第22、第45和第48国会选区所在县的选务办公室。
据纽森公布的数字，这支选举诚信团队包括800多名投票观察员、134名选举法律师和54名热线接线员。律师与受训志愿者将在选举日全天驻守各县选务办公室，在上述关键选区尤其密集，监测时长视计票进程而定。
加州民主党同时推出多语种选民保护热线与全州法律快速响应选票补正协助计划，帮助合资格选民处理选票问题、确保选票被计入。选民可拨打 1-877-321-VOTE (8683) 报告问题或寻求协助。
加州民主党主席 Rusty Hicks 在声明中表示，该党动员志愿者、部署选民保护团队，是为了确保每一名合资格的加州人都能投票、每一张合法选票都被计入。
纽森在声明中表示，联邦执法证件不是恐吓选民或干预选举的许可证。他还援引一项新州法指出，在选举结果认证前非法抢夺选票属重罪。他在其官方社交账号上写道，他正把选举律师部署到加州关键选区以保护每一张选票。
此事的背景是联邦司法部与加州围绕选民资格的争议：司法部此前起诉加州，要求剔除其认为发给非公民的2万多张选票，并宣布将派联邦人员监测选举；联邦法官本周早些时候驳回了司法部隔离这批选票的紧急请求。纽森的此次部署即针对联邦监测安排作出，称团队将监测联邦人员在投票点的活动。
California Governor Newsom Announces Deployment of Election Lawyers to Monitor Vote Counting: More Than 800 Poll Observers and 134 Attorneys Across Five Key Congressional Districts
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Wednesday night, October 28, that he will deploy statewide teams of election-law attorneys and poll watchers to monitor vote counting during the November 3 general election, stationed at county election offices with a focus on California's 6th, 13th, 22nd, 45th and 48th congressional districts.
According to Newsom, the election integrity teams will include more than 800 poll observers, 134 election law attorneys and 54 hotline operators. Attorneys and trained volunteers will be stationed at county election offices throughout Election Day, especially in those key districts, for as long as counting takes.
The California Democratic Party has created a multilingual voter-protection hotline and a statewide legal rapid-response ballot-curing assistance program to help eligible voters resolve ballot issues and ensure their votes are counted. Voters can report issues or request assistance by calling 1-877-321-VOTE (8683).
California Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks said in a statement that the party is mobilizing volunteers and deploying voter protection teams to ensure every eligible Californian can cast a ballot and every legal vote is counted.
Newsom said in a statement that a federal badge is not a license to intimidate voters or interfere with an election, and cited a new state law making it a felony to illegally seize ballots before election results are certified. In a post on his official social media account, he wrote that he is deploying election lawyers to key battleground districts in California to protect every vote.
The announcement comes amid a dispute between the federal Justice Department and California over voter eligibility: the Justice Department has sued the state seeking to set aside more than 20,000 ballots it believes were sent to noncitizens and has announced plans to deploy federal personnel to monitor elections, while a federal judge earlier this week rejected the department's emergency bid to set those ballots aside. Newsom said the state teams will monitor the federal agents the administration plans to place at polling locations.
