The Justice Department has charged 28 green card holders in California with election crimes for allegedly illegally registering to vote or voting in U.S. elections.
司法部指控加州 28 名绿卡持有者犯有选举罪，罪名是涉嫌非法登记投票或在美国选举中投票。
This marks a significant escalation in the Trump administration's feud with the state over its voting system as the midterm elections approach.
这标志着随着中期选举的临近，特朗普政府与政府围绕投票制度的争执大幅升级。
The DOJ also filed an emergency request to prevent California from processing ballots returned by people on the voter rolls that the federal government says are "likely noncitizens." California has sought clarification on the federal government's conclusions but has not received any.
司法部还提出紧急请求，阻止加州处理联邦政府所说的“可能是非公民”的选民名册上的人返回的选票。加州已要求联邦政府澄清其结论，但尚未收到任何答复。
Last week, the DOJ sued California and Los Angeles County after local officials refused to investigate allegations made by the administration about noncitizen voting.
上周，在当地官员拒绝调查政府有关非公民投票的指控后，司法部起诉了加利福尼亚州和洛杉矶县。
🎧 The DOJ wants California to segregate ballots of those on its list and to delay counting them until investigations are complete.
🎧 司法部希望加州对其名单上的选票进行隔离，并推迟计票直至调查完成。
Election law experts doubt the DOJ will succeed , given its past attempts to change state voting processes, Miles Parks tells Up First .
迈尔斯·帕克斯 (Miles Parks) 告诉《Up First》，选举法专家怀疑司法部是否会成功，因为它过去曾尝试改变州投票程序。
He adds that it would be surprising to see a shift just two weeks before the election with ballots already distributed.
他补充说，在选举前两周、选票已经分发的情况下看到这种转变将会令人惊讶。
Research shows that in many cases, when legal permanent residents register to vote, it is due to a misunderstanding of the rules.
研究表明，在许多情况下，当合法永久居民登记投票时，这是由于对规则的误解。
Experts tell Parks they are concerned that federal law enforcement might use accusations to confiscate ballots during counting, but many local voting officials are preparing by keeping county attorneys on speed dial.
专家告诉帕克斯，他们担心联邦执法部门可能会在计票过程中利用指控没收选票，但许多当地投票官员正在通过让县检察官快速拨号来做好准备。
Democrats and Republicans are deciding which races to prioritize with Election Day just two weeks away.

President Trump is campaigning in key perennial purple states like Georgia, North Carolina, Kansas, Iowa and Florida this week.
特朗普总统本周将在佐治亚州、北卡罗来纳州、堪萨斯州、爱荷华州和佛罗里达州等重要的常年紫色州进行竞选活动。
🎧 Trump's rally in Kansas and trip to North Carolina aren't where the leader of the Republican Party's attention should be, NPR's Stephen Fowler says.
NPR 的史蒂芬·福勒 (Stephen Fowler) 表示，特朗普在堪萨斯州的集会和北卡罗来纳州之行不应该引起共和党领导人的关注。
Kansas hasn't elected a Democratic senator in nearly a century, and many Republican groups have ceased ad spending in North Carolina, viewing the Senate race as a lost cause.
堪萨斯州已经近一个世纪没有选出民主党参议员了，许多共和党团体也停止了在北卡罗来纳州的广告支出，认为参议员竞选是一场失败的事业。
Republicans are prioritizing efforts to save their Senate majority over saving the House majority, while Democrats are capitalizing on opportunities in conservative areas, Fowler says.
福勒说，共和党人优先考虑的是挽救参议院多数席位，而不是挽救众议院多数席位，而民主党人则在利用保守派领域的机会。
In Georgia, with a million voters already casting ballots, Fowler says he sees an increase in Black voter turnout in the state and across the South.
在佐治亚州，已有一百万选民已经投票，福勒表示，他看到该州和整个南方的黑人选民投票率有所增加。

He's had the Treasury Department lift sanctions on Russian diesel.

He's effectively suspended a sanctions bill he just signed into law that was named in honor of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
他实际上暂停了刚刚签署成为法律的制裁法案，该法案是以已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的名字命名的。

FENG: Also last week, Ukrainian officials say they lost connectivity for a few days to Starshield and Starlink.
冯：同样在上周，乌克兰官员表示，他们与“星盾”和“星链”的连接中断了几天。
These are satellite services which Ukraine uses for battlefield communications.

乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，他认为美国是幕后黑手，本周他还采取了非同寻常的举措，就星链问题游说两党参议员和众议院议员。

马丁内斯：艾米丽，你知道为什么特朗普一再被指责偏向俄罗斯，现在却似乎再次向俄罗斯示好吗？
FENG: Trump clearly wants a deal.
FENG: Trump clearly wants a deal.

I spoke to Bill Taylor about this.

And Taylor notes the U.S. no longer gives much direct financial and military assistance to Ukraine.
泰勒指出，美国不再向乌克兰提供太多直接的财政和军事援助。
BILL TAYLOR: I mean, it's down 95%.
BILL TAYLOR：我的意思是，下降了 95%。
The only thing we continue to provide, which is very valuable - it's come up in the last couple of days - is this military intelligence and the ability for the Europeans to buy weapons from the United States and Elon Musk to be able to provide Starlink.
我们继续提供的唯一非常有价值的东西 - 它是在过去几天出现的 - 是军事情报以及欧洲人从美国和埃隆·马斯克购买武器以提供星链的能力。
FENG: But now the U.S. has shown Ukraine cannot rely on the U.S. for that intelligence.
冯：但现在美国已经表明乌克兰不能依赖美国提供情报。
And in a video meeting with members of Congress on Monday, Zelenskyy came straight out and he said the U.S. administration is holding up weapons for his country.
在周一与国会议员的视频会议上，泽连斯基直言不讳地表示，美国政府正在为他的国家保留武器。

（存档录音片段）总统沃洛德米尔·泽伦斯基：不幸的是，我们还知道，五角大楼正在推迟交付我们的合作伙伴已经付款的导弹。
MARTÍNEZ: All right.
马丁内斯：好的。
So, Emily, there's been a bipartisan fallout that's followed this.
所以，艾米丽，随之而来的是两党的影响。
So tell us about that.
请告诉我们这一点。
FENG: Yes.
冯：是的。
Notably, both Republican and Democratic lawmakers are criticizing the U.S. for buying Russian diesel.
值得注意的是，共和党和民主党议员都批评美国购买俄罗斯柴油。
For example, on top of the lawmakers that Zelenskyy briefed, you have Republican Representative Mike Lawler saying the diesel puts money in Russia's pocket.
例如，除了泽连斯基向立法者介绍情况外，共和党众议员迈克·劳勒还表示，柴油车将钱放入俄罗斯的口袋。
Notably, Darline Graham, sister of the late Senator Graham, whose namesake sanctions law was just signed into law by Trump, spoke out against the U.S. buying Russian diesel.
值得注意的是，已故参议员格雷厄姆的妹妹达琳·格雷厄姆（其同名制裁法刚刚被特朗普签署成为法律）公开反对美国购买俄罗斯柴油。

这一后果说明了特朗普因与伊朗发动看似棘手的冲突而陷入困境。
He has driven up energy prices for Americans.
他推高了美国人的能源价格。
That's put more leverage in Russia's hands to push the U.S. for a quick resolution on Ukraine.
这使得俄罗斯拥有更多筹码来推动美国迅速解决乌克兰问题。
MARTÍNEZ: All right.
马丁内斯：好的。
That's NPR's Emily Feng.

(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC) INSKEEP: OK, an NPR team is reporting from here in Georgia today.
（音乐原声） 因斯基普：好的，NPR 团队今天在佐治亚州进行报道。
I'm at our station WABE in Atlanta.
I'm at our station WABE in Atlanta.
Georgia has a big Senate race and a governor's race.
佐治亚州有一场盛大的参议院竞选和州长竞选。
President Trump campaigned here last Friday and returns this weekend.
特朗普总统上周五在这里竞选，本周末返回。

The Republican is trailing in Georgia, and Trump is even campaigning in red states, such as Kansas, Iowa and Florida.

Now, two weeks before Election Day, both parties are now deciding which races to cut loose and where to push all-in.

INSKEEP: Good to talk with you.
因斯基普：很高兴与你交谈。
And I know you're going to be traveling to some of the states we just mentioned.
我知道您将前往我们刚才提到的一些州。
What do the president's travel plans tell us about the state of play?
总统的旅行计划告诉我们什么关于比赛状况的信息？
FOWLER: On paper, this is not really where the leader of the Republican Party should be spending his time and energy.
福勒：从表面上看，这实际上并不是共和党领导人应该花费时间和精力的地方。
Kansas hasn't elected a Democratic senator in nearly a century, and yet, polls suggest it's possible.
堪萨斯州已经近一个世纪没有选出民主党参议员了，但民意调查显示这是可能的。
There's a trip to a conservative corner of Iowa.
有一次去爱荷华州一个保守角落的旅行。
That's a state where Democrats could flip the governor's office, three of four House seats and the Senate seat because of how unpopular Republicans are.
在这个州，民主党人可以推翻州长办公室、众议院四个席位中的三个以及参议院席位，因为共和党人多么不受欢迎。
INSKEEP: Wow.
因斯基普：哇。
FOWLER: Trump is visiting North Carolina as many Republican outside groups have basically gone dark on the airwaves because the Senate race is viewed as a lost cause.
福勒：特朗普正在访问北卡罗来纳州，因为许多共和党外部团体基本上在电视广播中陷入了黑暗，因为参议院竞选被认为是一场失败的事业。
So in many ways, it's rallying the troops to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic.
因此，从很多方面来说，它正在集结部队重新布置泰坦尼克号上的躺椅。
INSKEEP: Well, we're in Georgia, which was supposed to be a marquee Senate race, and now it's not so competitive.
因斯基普：嗯，我们在佐治亚州，这本来应该是一场盛大的参议院竞选，但现在竞争不那么激烈了。
FOWLER: Nope.
福勒：不。
And that's because of Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff.
这是因为民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫。
He raised well over $100 million this cycle.
他在这个周期筹集了超过 1 亿美元的资金。
He raised his profile with a very strong anti-corruption tack in the campaign message.
他在竞选信息中以非常强烈的反腐败策略提升了自己的形象。
And his poll numbers have risen, too, thanks to crossover support from some Republicans.
由于一些共和党人的交叉支持，他的民调支持率也有所上升。
However, there is still a competitive governor's race here.
然而，这里仍然存在竞争激烈的州长竞选。
Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is in a toss-up race with billionaire healthcare executive Rick Jackson.
亚特兰大前市长凯莎·兰斯·博顿斯 (Keisha Lance Bottoms) 与亿万富翁医疗保健高管里克·杰克逊 (Rick Jackson) 展开了一场势均力敌的角逐。
He's funneled over $100 million of his own money to try and beat back the rising tide of Republican unpopularity.
他自掏腰包一亿多美元，试图遏制共和党日益不受欢迎的势头。
And also in Georgia, demographically, you have basically every major group that swung towards President Trump in 2024 - young people, Latino voters, people who don't show up to vote very much - now they're swinging back.
同样在佐治亚州，从人口结构来看，基本上所有主要群体都会在 2024 年转向特朗普总统——年轻人、拉丁裔选民、不经常投票的人——现在他们正在回归。
INSKEEP: OK.
因斯基普：好的。
So President Trump's travel schedule tells us something.
特朗普总统的旅行日程告诉了我们一些事情。
Then there's the money - where money goes and where money is drawn back.
然后是钱——钱去哪里，钱又从哪里提取。
What does that tell us about the party priorities?
这告诉我们有关党的优先事项的什么信息？
FOWLER: For Republicans, it looks like there's more of a priority to save their Senate majority than the House.
福勒：对于共和党人来说，挽救参议院多数席位似乎比众议院更重要。
That's where more money is.
这就是更多钱的地方。
And Democrats are seizing on openings in very conservative places.
民主党人正在非常保守的地方抓住机会。
Over the last three weeks, data shows Republicans have doubled, tripled, even quadrupled their investment in places like the Senate races in Kansas and Mississippi...
过去三周，数据显示共和党人在堪萨斯州和密西西比州参议院竞选等地的投资增加了一倍、三倍、甚至四倍……
INSKEEP: Mississippi.
因斯基普：密西西比州。
Please, go on.
请继续。
Wow.
哇。
FOWLER: ...Deep-red House districts in Missouri, Pennsylvania, Kentucky.
福勒：……密苏里州、宾夕法尼亚州、肯塔基州的深红色住宅区。
And they've pulled back at the same time from the Georgia and North Carolina Senate races and one-time toss-up races in Iowa, Ohio and Nebraska that are not as competitive anymore.
他们同时退出了佐治亚州和北卡罗来纳州的参议院竞选，以及爱荷华州、俄亥俄州和内布拉斯加州的一次性竞选，这些竞选不再那么有竞争力。
Meanwhile, the Democrats have a long list of flip targets that have actually been accompanied by millions of dollars in spending, too, leading Republicans to scramble and respond in places like Arkansas.
与此同时，民主党有一长串的翻转目标，实际上也伴随着数百万美元的支出，导致共和党在阿肯色州等地仓促应对。
INSKEEP: So as we've been going around the Atlanta area the last couple days, we've been seeing people going to the early polling sites, early voting.
因斯基普：过去几天我们在亚特兰大地区走动时，我们看到人们前往提前投票站，提前投票。
What can you read into the early voting numbers across the country?
从全国范围内的提前投票数字中你能读到什么？
FOWLER: What we're seeing right now is that Democrats appear to be changing how they vote away from mail-in ballots to in-person early voting or Election Day.
福勒：我们现在看到的是，民主党人似乎正在改变投票方式，从邮寄选票改为亲自提前投票或选举日投票。
It's also going to be notable to see where else Trump goes in his final days.
特朗普在他最后的日子里还会去哪里，这一点也将值得注意。
And with more than a million people already voting here in Georgia so far, I am watching what appears to be higher than usual Black turnout in Georgia and other key races across the South.
到目前为止，佐治亚州已经有超过一百万人投票，我正在观察佐治亚州和南方其他关键竞选的黑人投票率似乎高于平常。
INSKEEP: NPR's Stephen Fowler, thanks for the insights.
因斯基普：感谢 NPR 的斯蒂芬·福勒的见解。
FOWLER: Thank you.
福勒：谢谢。
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC) MARTÍNEZ: The Trump administration's fight with California elections officials over the voter rolls is intensifying.
（音乐片段）马丁内斯：特朗普政府与加州选举官员围绕选民名册的斗争正在加剧。
INSKEEP: On Monday, the Department of Justice filed charges against more than two dozen people for voting crimes in previous elections.
因斯基普：周一，司法部对两打多人提出指控，指控他们在之前的选举中犯有投票罪。
Just last week, the Department of Justice sued the state and Los Angeles County because local officials declined to investigate the administration's noncitizen voting allegations.
就在上周，司法部起诉了该州和洛杉矶县，因为当地官员拒绝调查政府对非公民投票的指控。
So with Election Day coming, where's all this heading?
那么随着选举日的到来，这一切将走向何方呢？
MARTÍNEZ: All right, let's bring in NPR voting correspondent Miles Parks to answer that question.
马丁内斯：好吧，让我们请 NPR 投票记者迈尔斯·帕克斯来回答这个问题。
Miles, let's start with that LA lawsuit.
迈尔斯，让我们从洛杉矶的诉讼开始吧。
What's the latest there?
那里最新的情况是什么？
MILES PARKS, BYLINE: So the Department of Justice filed an emergency motion just yesterday asking a federal court to force LA County and the state of California to do what it wants as soon as possible.
迈尔斯·帕克连线：司法部昨天提出了一项紧急动议，要求联邦法院迫使洛杉矶县和加利福尼亚州尽快采取行动。
This all began, A, about a week ago last Tuesday, when the DOJ delivered a thumb drive to Los Angeles County that contained the names of 20,000 people all over California who are on the state's voter rolls and who the federal government says are likely noncitizens.
这一切都始于大约一周前的上周二，当时司法部向洛杉矶县交付了一个拇指驱动器，其中包含全加州 20,000 人的姓名，这些人都在该州选民名册上，而且联邦政府称这些人可能不是公民。
Now, I should say there are a lot of reasons to be skeptical of that number.
现在，我应该说有很多理由对这个数字表示怀疑。
But the DOJ wants California to segregate the ballots of everyone on this list and for them not to be counted until those people have been investigated.
但司法部希望加州将名单上每个人的选票分开，并在这些人接受调查之前不进行统计。
The state says the federal government has not provided evidence for its claims and doing what the DOJ asks would probably violate state and federal law.
该州表示，联邦政府尚未为其主张提供证据，按照司法部的要求行事可能会违反州和联邦法律。
MARTÍNEZ: What are the chances the DOJ will be successful?
马丁内斯：司法部成功的机会有多大？
PARKS: Election law experts are pretty skeptical.
帕克斯：选举法专家对此持怀疑态度。
I mean, this DOJ has tried a bunch of different ways to compel states to change how they vote, and there just hasn't been much success.
我的意思是，司法部尝试了多种不同的方法来迫使各州改变投票方式，但并没有取得太大成功。
It would be pretty shocking if two weeks before an election, when ballots have already gone out, that that changes.
如果在选举前两周、选票已经结束时情况发生变化，那将是相当令人震惊的。
MARTÍNEZ: All right.
马丁内斯：好的。
So we mentioned the charges that were filed yesterday against noncitizens in California for alleged voting crimes.
因此，我们提到了昨天对加州非公民因涉嫌投票犯罪而提出的指控。
Are these two things related somehow?
这两件事有某种关联吗？
PARKS: Yes.
帕克斯：是的。
So the 28 people charged yesterday were supposedly on this broader list of 20,000 names that was provided to local officials.
因此，昨天被指控的 28 人应该在提供给当地官员的这份包含 20,000 人姓名的更广泛名单上。
These were all green card holders who allegedly registered to vote.
这些人都是绿卡持有者，据称他们已经登记投票。
Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter announced the charges at a press conference yesterday.
代理副总检察长特伦特·麦科特在昨天的新闻发布会上宣布了这些指控。
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING) TRENT MCCOTTER: This Department of Justice will not look the other way while noncitizens vote in federal elections.
（存档录音片段） TRENT MCCOTTER：当非公民在联邦选举中投票时，司法部不会视而不见。
Unfortunately, the same can't be said for California and LA County.
不幸的是，加州和洛杉矶县的情况却并非如此。
PARKS: I should say there's still a lot we don't know about these cases.
帕克斯：我应该说，关于这些案件，我们还有很多不了解的地方。
Research has found that in many of these cases where legal permanent residents do register to vote, it's often found to be because of bureaucratic errors or because they didn't realize it was illegal.
研究发现，在许多合法永久居民确实登记投票的情况下，通常被发现是因为官僚主义错误或因为他们没有意识到这是非法的。
It just usually does not make that much sense that someone would risk their chance at permanent citizenship to cast one vote.
如果有人冒着失去永久公民身份的机会去投一票，通常没有多大意义。
MARTÍNEZ: And so on that, Miles, because 28 people - I mean, that doesn't sound like, you know, this big, grand conspiracy that the president has talked about for so many years.
马丁内斯：等等，迈尔斯，因为 28 个人 - 我的意思是，这听起来不像总统多年来一直谈论的这个大阴谋。
PARKS: Exactly.
帕克斯：没错。
I mean, just for context, 28 people is roughly 0.0001% of California's registered voters.
我的意思是，仅作为背景，28 人大约占加州登记选民的 0.0001%。
But election experts I talked to say announcing charges like this - and this is something we've seen more and more in recent days as early voting is beginning across the country - it allows the Trump administration to give the impression that it - this idea of noncitizen voting is happening more than it is.
但我采访过的选举专家表示，宣布这样的指控——随着提前投票在全国范围内开始，我们最近几天越来越多地看到这种情况——这让特朗普政府给人留下这样的印象——这种非公民投票的想法正在发生。
MARTÍNEZ: All right.
马丁内斯：好的。
So two weeks short of Election Day here.
距离选举日还有两周。
So what are people worried about?
那么人们担心什么呢？
PARKS: So the No. 1 fear from election experts is that these sort of accusations could be leveraged in some way by federal law enforcement to potentially confiscate ballots in the period after voting ends during counting.
帕克斯：因此，选举专家最担心的是，联邦执法部门可能会以某种方式利用此类指控，在计票期间投票结束后的一段时间内可能没收选票。
But I should say, voting officials are preparing for that.
但我应该说，投票官员正在为此做好准备。
Dana Lewis is a Republican election official in Pinal County, Arizona.
达纳·刘易斯是亚利桑那州皮纳尔县的共和党选举官员。
And she told me election officials everywhere are watching this legal process play out in California and making plans as though they'll be next.
她告诉我，各地的选举官员都在关注加州这一法律程序的进展，并制定计划，就好像他们将是下一个。
DANA LEWIS: When this impacts another administration, you know, or jurisdiction, you automatically have to feel that.
达纳·刘易斯：当这影响到另一届政府、你知道的或司法管辖区时，你自然会感受到这一点。
If it's happening in Georgia, if it's happening in Colorado or California, we're all watching.
如果它发生在佐治亚州，如果它发生在科罗拉多州或加利福尼亚州，我们都在关注。
PARKS: Local officials I talked to say they have their county attorneys on speed dial right now, just in case the DOJ comes knocking at their door.
帕克斯：我采访过的地方官员说，他们现在正在快速拨打县检察官的电话，以防司法部上门。
MARTÍNEZ: All right.
马丁内斯：好的。
We'll have you on speed dial, as well.
我们也会为您提供快速拨号。
