Election Officials Telling College Students They Can’t Vote選舉官員告訴大學生,他們不能投票 Friday, September 26th, 2008 週五, 08年9月26號 By Greg Gordon | 【大紀元戈登| 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.美國-科羅拉多州的民主黨人指責共和黨人縣辦事員星期三虛假通知科羅拉多學院學生以外的國家不能登記為選民,如果他們的父母聲稱它們作為一個依賴於他們的報稅表。 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.在新聞發布會在科羅拉多斯普林斯,民主黨也批評羅伯特Balink的埃爾帕索縣辦事員和錄音機,誰是代表美國共和黨全國代表大會,對於採取其他步驟,他們表示將抑制投票的大學生,誰有望重有利於民主黨總統候選人奧巴馬。 “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. “當選舉官員散佈虛假信息誰是有資格投票和刪除,而不是增加,投票站的地方,我們需要關注的是,合資格的選民將被剝奪投票權,說: ”帕特Waak ,董事長科羅拉多民主黨。 Balink issued a statement saying his office had misinterpreted state law and “mistakenly published information that was incorrect.” Balink發表聲明說,他的辦公室曲解國家法律和“出版錯誤信息,是不正確的。 ” 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的行動是最近的一些情況,其中地方選舉官員,其中包括一些在弗吉尼亞州和南卡羅來納州,阻礙了大學生投票的一年,大批的學生已經表示,它們將落後奧巴馬的能源。 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.發現這些限制際,民主黨人指責共和黨人越來越多地使用了一系列的戰術壓制民主選民投票率在11月的大選。 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奧爾森,選舉經理在科羅拉多州的埃爾帕索縣,他說,辦公室“承擔全部責任是什麼文件。 Nobody told us to put anything in there.”沒有人告訴我們,把東西在裡面。 “ 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.蒂爾尼瑪莎的律師科羅拉多州民主黨說,她獲得的電子郵件顯示, Balink的辦公室發出了誤導飛的科羅拉多學院總統辦公室為學生提供選民登記信息,並敦促其流通的校園。 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.”在飛說: “這意味著,如果你的父母還要求你在他們的收入報稅,他們的文件返回州科羅拉多州以外,你沒有資格登記為選民或投票在科羅拉多州。 ” 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.選民居住需求因國家而異,但必須符合保障美國憲法,喬恩戈林鮑姆說,一個專家的投票權與律師委員會根據公民權利法。 Greenbaum said that what states and counties can’t do is adopt rules that treat one group of voters differently than others.戈林鮑姆說,州和縣不能做的是通過規則,治療一組不同的選民比其他人。 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.戈林鮑姆指出,弗吉尼亞州的選舉委員會最近修訂的語言在其因特網網站,鼓勵學生註冊後,報告了類似的事件在弗吉尼亞理工大學, 210萬,弗吉尼亞州紐約時報9月8日報導,一個地方登記處已發出了兩份新聞稿說不當建議可怕的後果大學的學生誰登記投票,其中包括有可能不再可以索賠的家屬對他們父母的報稅表。 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 ,項目主管學生公共利益研究集團的新選民項目在華盛頓說,她遇到了類似的問題,當她提出作為一個大學新生上週並要求登記處的辦公室格林維爾縣在南卡羅來納州,這裡福爾曼大學和約克縣南卡羅來納州,在那裡溫大學的所在地。 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說,格林維爾正式詢問她的父母她列出的依賴性,當她作了肯定的回答,告訴她: “你應該投你的父母在那裡生活。 ”她說,約克縣的代表問她是否是在城裡上學,當她說是的,斷然指出: “你不能在這裡進行表決。 ” A caller on Wednesday got similar responses.來電星期三了類似的反應。 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.”說的信息傳授他的工作人員,康威Belangia ,格林維爾縣的主管登記和選舉,他說: “如果一名工作人員的人發了言,這樣,這是一個錯誤。 ” A York County official didn’t respond to calls for comment.紐約縣阿官方沒有回應要求評論的電話。 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說,但是,如果一個學生生活在一個宿舍,他必須回答一系列的問題,制定了在1974年聯邦法院的命令涉及登記投票的縣。 He said students must demonstrate their “intent to claim this locale as their home when they finish school.”他說,學生必須證明其“意圖聲稱這一地區作為其回家當他們完成學業。 ” 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要求縣'的政策“恐嚇” ,並說他們“發出一個信息,即年輕選民不歡迎我們的民主”就在他們第一次享有投票權。 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.皮瓣了學生的投票權之前,民主黨人上週提起訴訟,在密歇根州,尋求法庭命令,禁止使用共和黨名單的人面臨抵押貸款贖回權程序,以此為基礎挑戰他們的投票資格。 Michigan Republicans denied using foreclosure lists to cast doubt about voters’ qualifications.密歇根州共和黨人否認使用贖回清單,以懷疑的選民資格。 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,關鍵是國家陷入指控的投票違規行為在2004年的總統選舉,國務秘書珍妮布倫納星期三通知縣選舉委員會,贖回清單不應被視為證明,選民已經改變住所。 “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面臨的痛苦和混亂的家庭贖不應該有針對性的部隊被剝奪選舉日那天, ”布魯諾說。 Have Your Say: Election Officials Telling College Students They Can’t Vote 你說:選舉官員告訴大學生,他們不能投票 Please read our請仔細閱讀我們的 posting guidelines before posting張貼在發布前的指導方針 . 。 Alternatively或者 you can discuss this report here你可以討論這份報告在這裡 . 。 Related News 相關新聞
