Election Officials Telling College Students They Can’t Vote选举官员告诉大学生,他们不能投票 Friday, September 26th, 2008 周五, 08年9月26号 By Greg Gordon | 【大纪元戈登| McClatchy.com | WASHINGTON - Colorado Democrats accused a Republican county clerk Wednesday of falsely informing Colorado College that students from outside the state could not register to vote if their parents claimed them as a dependent on their tax returns.美国-科罗拉多州的民主党人指责共和党人县办事员星期三虚假通知科罗拉多学院学生以外的国家不能登记为选民,如果他们的父母声称它们作为一个依赖于他们的报税表。 At a news conference in Colorado Springs, Democrats also criticized Robert Balink, the El Paso County clerk and recorder, who was a delegate to the Republican National Convention, for taking other steps they said would dampen voting by college students, who are expected to heavily favor Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.在新闻发布会在科罗拉多斯普林斯,民主党也批评罗伯特Balink的埃尔帕索县办事员和录音机,谁是代表美国共和党全国代表大会,对于采取其他步骤,他们表示将抑制投票的大学生,谁有望重有利于民主党总统候选人奥巴马。 “When election officials spread false information about who is eligible to vote and remove, not add, polling places, we need to be concerned that eligible voters will be denied their right to vote,” said Pat Waak, chairwoman of the Colorado Democratic Party. “当选举官员散布虚假信息谁是有资格投票和删除,而不是增加,投票站的地方,我们需要关注的是,合资格的选民将被剥夺投票权,说: ”帕特Waak ,董事长科罗拉多民主党。 Balink issued a statement saying his office had misinterpreted state law and “mistakenly published information that was incorrect.” Balink发表声明说,他的办公室曲解国家法律和“出版错误信息,是不正确的。 ” Balink’s actions are the latest of several instances in which local election officials, including some in Virginia and South Carolina, have discouraged college students from voting in a year in which legions of students have thrown their energy behind Obama. Balink的行动是最近的一些情况,其中地方选举官员,其中包括一些在弗吉尼亚州和南卡罗来纳州,阻碍了大学生投票的一年,大批的学生已经表示,它们将落后奥巴马的能源。 Discovery of these restrictions comes as Democrats have increasingly accused Republicans of using an array of tactics to suppress the Democratic voter turnout in the November election.发现这些限制际,民主党人指责共和党人越来越多地使用了一系列的战术压制民主选民投票率在11月的大选。 Liz Olson, the elections manager in Colorado’s El Paso County, said that the office “takes full responsibility for what’s in that document. Liz奥尔森,选举经理在科罗拉多州的埃尔帕索县,他说,办公室“承担全部责任是什么文件。 Nobody told us to put anything in there.”没有人告诉我们,把东西在里面。 “ Martha Tierney, an attorney for the Colorado Democratic Party, said she obtained emails showing that Balink’s office sent a misleading flier to the Colorado College president’s office to provide students with voter-registration information and urged its circulation on campus.蒂尔尼玛莎的律师科罗拉多州民主党说,她获得的电子邮件显示, Balink的办公室发出了误导飞的科罗拉多学院总统办公室为学生提供选民登记信息,并敦促其流通的校园。 The flier stated: “What this means is that if your parents still claim you on their income tax returns, and they file that return in a state other than Colorado, you are not eligible to register to vote or vote in Colorado.”在飞说: “这意味着,如果你的父母还要求你在他们的收入报税,他们的文件返回州科罗拉多州以外,你没有资格登记为选民或投票在科罗拉多州。 ” Voter residency requirements vary from state to state, but must meet the guarantees of the US Constitution, said Jon Greenbaum, a voting rights expert with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.选民居住需求因国家而异,但必须符合保障美国宪法,乔恩戈林鲍姆说,一个专家的投票权与律师委员会根据公民权利法。 Greenbaum said that what states and counties can’t do is adopt rules that treat one group of voters differently than others.戈林鲍姆说,州和县不能做的是通过规则,治疗一组不同的选民比其他人。 Greenbaum noted that Virginia’s elections board recently revised language on its Internet site that discouraged students from registering after reports of a similar episode at Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, Va. The New York Times reported Sept. 8 that a local registrar had issued two releases that incorrectly suggested dire consequences for the university’s students who registered to vote there, including the possibility they no longer could be claimed as dependents on their parents’ tax returns.戈林鲍姆指出,弗吉尼亚州的选举委员会最近修订的语言在其因特网网站,鼓励学生注册后,报告了类似的事件在弗吉尼亚理工大学, 210万,弗吉尼亚州纽约时报9月8日报道,一个地方登记处已发出了两份新闻稿说不当建议可怕的后果大学的学生谁登记投票,其中包括有可能不再可以索赔的家属对他们父母的报税表。 Sujatha Jahagirdar, program director of the Student Public Interest Research Group’s New Voters Project in Washington, said she encountered similar problems when she posed as a college freshman last week and called registrar’s offices in Greenville County, SC, home to Furman University, and York County, SC, where Winthrop University is located. Sujatha Jahagirdar ,项目主管学生公共利益研究集团的新选民项目在华盛顿说,她遇到了类似的问题,当她提出作为一个大学新生上周并要求登记处的办公室格林维尔县在南卡罗来纳州,这里福尔曼大学和约克县南卡罗来纳州,在那里温大学的所在地。 Jahagirdar said a Greenville official asked if her parents listed her as a dependent, and when she replied in the affirmative, told her: “You should vote where your parents live.” She said a York County representative asked if she was in town for school, and when she said yes, stated flatly: “You can’t vote here.” Jahagirdar说,格林维尔正式询问她的父母她列出的依赖性,当她作了肯定的回答,告诉她: “你应该投你的父母在那里生活。 ”她说,约克县的代表问她是否是在城里上学,当她说是的,断然指出: “你不能在这里进行表决。 ” A caller on Wednesday got similar responses.来电星期三了类似的反应。 Told of the information imparted by his staff, Conway Belangia, Greenville County’s director of registration and elections, said that “if a staff person made a statement like that, it was an error.”说的信息传授他的工作人员,康威Belangia ,格林维尔县的主管登记和选举,他说: “如果一名工作人员的人发了言,这样,这是一个错误。 ” A York County official didn’t respond to calls for comment.纽约县阿官方没有回应要求评论的电话。 Belangia said, however, that if a student lives in a dormitory, he must respond to a series of questions laid out in a 1974 federal court order covering voting registration in the county. Belangia说,但是,如果一个学生生活在一个宿舍,他必须回答一系列的问题,制定了在1974年联邦法院的命令涉及登记投票的县。 He said students must demonstrate their “intent to claim this locale as their home when they finish school.”他说,学生必须证明其“意图声称这一地区作为其回家当他们完成学业。 ” Jahagirdar called the counties’ policies “intimidating” and said they “send a message that young voters are not welcome in our democracy” just when they’re first enjoying the right to vote. Jahagirdar要求县'的政策“恐吓” ,并说他们“发出一个信息,即年轻选民不欢迎我们的民主”就在他们第一次享有投票权。 The flap over students’ voting rights comes after Democrats last week filed a lawsuit in Michigan, seeking a court order barring Republicans from using lists of people facing mortgage foreclosure proceedings as a basis for challenging their voting eligibility.皮瓣了学生的投票权之前,民主党人上周提起诉讼,在密歇根州,寻求法庭命令,禁止使用共和党名单的人面临抵押贷款赎回权程序,以此为基础挑战他们的投票资格。 Michigan Republicans denied using foreclosure lists to cast doubt about voters’ qualifications.密歇根州共和党人否认使用赎回清单,以怀疑的选民资格。 And in Ohio, a pivotal state that was mired in allegations of voting irregularities in the 2004 presidential election, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner on Wednesday advised county election boards that foreclosure lists should not be considered proof that voters have changed residences.在俄亥俄州,关键是国家陷入指控的投票违规行为在2004年的总统选举,国务秘书珍妮布伦纳星期三通知县选举委员会,赎回清单不应被视为证明,选民已经改变住所。 “Ohioans faced with the pain and turmoil of a home foreclosure should not be targeted by the forces of disenfranchisement on Election Day,” Brunner said. “ Ohioans面临的痛苦和混乱的家庭赎不应该有针对性的部队被剥夺选举日那天, ”布鲁诺说。 Have Your Say: Election Officials Telling College Students They Can’t Vote 你说:选举官员告诉大学生,他们不能投票 Please read our请仔细阅读我们的 posting guidelines before posting张贴在发布前的指导方针 . 。 Alternatively或者 you can discuss this report here你可以讨论这份报告在这里 . 。 Related News 相关新闻
