俄亥俄州北区联邦检察官办公室公布2026年大选选举诚信计划:两名地区选举官11月3日值守,公布举报电话

位于美国俄亥俄州 Cuyahoga 县的 Cleveland 是俄亥俄北区联邦检察官办公室所在地,该办公室10月29日与司法部民权司协调,公布2026年大选选举诚信计划,说明该辖区在11月3日大选期间监督联邦投票权保护、处理选举相关违法投诉的安排。
联邦检察官 David M. Toepfer 任命执行助理联邦检察官 Ava Rotell Dustin 与助理联邦检察官 Matthew Shepherd 为2026年地区选举官。两人负责该辖区选举日投诉的处理,并与司法部在 Washington 的民权司、刑事司和国家安全司协商。
Toepfer 表示,其办公室已与联邦、州和地方执法部门合作维护选举安全、执行联邦法律并迅速处理可信威胁;目击或直接知悉涉嫌选举欺诈、选民恐吓或非法投票活动的人,应立即举报。
计划列出三项执法重点:保护选民权利,确保合资格选民在提前投票、邮寄投票和选举日投票时免受歧视、骚扰或非法胁迫;监督选民登记与资格方面的联邦法律合规;打击选举欺诈,调查关于收集他人选票、冒名投票或蓄意扰乱投票点和邮寄选票处理的可执行举报。
Dustin 与 Shepherd 将于11月3日星期二投票站开放期间在俄亥俄北区值守,接收投票权或选举欺诈方面的投诉并转交相应机构。俄亥俄州西北部地区可拨打 419-241-0767 联系 Dustin,东北部地区可拨打 216-622-3859 联系 Shepherd。
涉及联邦投票权法律的投诉也可直接向位于 Washington 的司法部民权司提出,电话为 1-855-856-1247,也可通过民权司网站提交。该办公室提示,如遇暴力犯罪或恐吓,应立即拨打 911,并在联系联邦当局之前先联系州和地方警察,因为州和地方警察对投票点拥有首要管辖权。
Northern District of Ohio U.S. Attorney's Office Announces Election Integrity Plan for 2026 General Election: Two District Election Officers on Duty November 3
CLEVELAND, Cuyahoga County, Ohio — The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Ohio, in coordination with the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, announced on October 29 its Election Integrity Plan for the 2026 general election, setting out how the district will oversee federal voting protections and handle election-related complaints around the November 3 election.
U.S. Attorney David M. Toepfer named Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Ava Rotell Dustin and Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Shepherd as the 2026 District Election Officers. They will oversee the district's handling of Election Day complaints in consultation with the Justice Department's Civil Rights, Criminal and National Security Divisions in Washington.
Toepfer said his office has partnered with federal, state and local law enforcement to maintain election security, enforce federal laws and address credible threats swiftly, and strongly encouraged anyone who witnesses or has direct knowledge of suspected election fraud, voter intimidation or unlawful voting activity to report it immediately.
The plan lists three enforcement priorities: protecting voter rights so eligible voters can take part in early voting, mail-in voting and Election Day voting free from discrimination, harassment or unlawful coercion; monitoring compliance with federal laws on voter registration and eligibility; and combating election fraud by investigating actionable allegations of ballot harvesting, voter impersonation or intentional disruption of polling places and mail-in ballot processing.
Dustin and Shepherd will be on duty in the Northern District of Ohio while the polls are open on Tuesday, November 3, to respond to complaints and direct them to the appropriate authorities. For northwestern Ohio, call Dustin at 419-241-0767; for northeastern Ohio, call Shepherd at 216-622-3859.
Complaints about possible violations of federal voting rights laws may also be made directly to the Civil Rights Division in Washington at 1-855-856-1247 or through its website. In the case of a crime of violence or intimidation, the office advises calling 911 immediately and before contacting federal authorities, as state and local police have primary jurisdiction over polling places.
