अटॉर्नी जनरल Blanche ने DOJ द्वारा राज्यों को चुनाव परिणाम प्रमाणित करने से रोकने से इनकार नहीं किया

Attorney General Todd Blanche ne guruwar ko Justice Department ki aisi karwai se inkar karne se mana kar diya jo kisi rajya ko uske madhyavadhi chunav parinamon ko pramanit karne se rok sakti hai, yah kehte hue ki ek vinashkari paristhiti ho sakti hai jisme vibhag hastakshep karega.

Blanche ne Norfolk, Virginia mein viman par chadhne se pehle patrakaron se baat ki. Unhone kaha ki vibhag ka uddeshya chunavon mein anuchit hastakshep karna nahi hai. Lekin unhone yah kehne se inkar kar diya ki aisi koi paristhiti nahi hai jisme vibhag karwai karega, aur unhone yah bhi nahi bataya ki aisi paristhiti kaisi hogi.

Unse kya puchha gaya, aur unhone kya kaha

Blanche FBI Director Kash Patel ke saath Norfolk aaye the, Virginia ki rajya senator L. Louise Lucas aur anya chhah abhiyukton ke viruddh racketeering aaropon ki ghoshna karne ke liye. Us ghoshna ke baad, patrakaron ne unse puchha ki kya ve maton ki ginati mein deri karne ya kisi rajya ko parinam pramanit karne se rokne wali kisi bhi vibhagiya karwai se inkar kar sakte hain.

"Haan. Bilkul, aisi paristhitiyan hain jinhe hum kalpanik roop se soch sakte hain, udaharan ke liye koi vinashkari paristhiti", unhone kaha, NBC News aur Democracy Docket dwara report ki gayi unki tippaniyon mein. "DOJ ka uddeshya nahi hai, aur yah kabhi hamara uddeshya nahi hai, chunavon ya rajya pramanikaran prakriya mein anuchit hastakshep karna, lekin yah kehna ki aisi koi paristhiti nahi hai jisme hum kabhi aisa karenge, bilkul main yah nahi kahunga."

"Kya main chunav ke aas paas apne din is yojana se bita raha hoon ki kahin pramanit na karun? Bilkul nahi", unhone joda. Rajyon ke viruddh vibhag ke chunav mukadmon par dabav daale jaane par, unhone kaha ki vibhag arajakta paida karne ki koshish nahi kar raha tha aur adhikariyon ko sambhavit muddon ke baare mein sachet karne ki koshish kar raha tha. "Main kisi chunav ko pramanit na hone dene ki koshish nahi kar raha. Bilkul nahi", unhone kaha. "Hum jo karne ki koshish kar rahe hain vah ameriki logon ko guarantee dena hai ki jo log mat de rahe hain ve hi log hain jo mat dene ke yogya hain."

Pramanikaran rajyon ka kaam hai

Rajyon aur Congress ke paas chunav chalane ka adhikar hai, aur chunav parinamon ke rajya pramanikaran ki prakriya mein sanghiya sarkar ki koi bhumika nahi hai, Democracy Docket ne unki tippaniyon ki apni report mein ullekh kiya.

Senator Alex Padilla, Dick Durbin aur Sheldon Whitehouse ne pichhle hafte Blanche ko patra likh kar yah pratibaddhata maangi ki Justice Department rajyon ke parinam pramanit karne se pehle matpatron ya voting machinon ko jabt nahi karega, NBC News ne bataya. Senatoron ne Justice Manual ka hawala diya, vibhag ki aantarik niyam pustak, jo kehti hai ki vibhag ko aam taur par chunav prashasan, ginati, satyapan ya pramanikaran mein hastakshep karne, ya hastakshep karte hue dikhai dene, se bachna chahiye. Unhone Blanche se 29 October tak likhit jawab maanga.

Matadata suchiyon aur mail matpatron par mukadme

NBC News ne is hafte bataya ki vibhag rajyon ke viruddh aur chunav sambandhit mukadme chalane par vichar kar raha hai, California par mukadma karne ke baad uske adhikariyon ko 18,000 panjikrit matadataon ki samiksha karne ke liye badhya karne ke liye, jin par use shanka tha ki ve jhootha mat daalne ki koshish karne wale gair nagrik ho sakte hain. California mein poori tarah mail chunav hota hai aur panjikrit matadataon ko swatah matpatra bheje jaate hain, aur vibhag anya rajyon ke viruddh mukadma karne par vichar kar raha hai jo swatah matpatra bhejte hain, NBC News ne bataya.

Ye tippaniyan chunav pravartan ke liye pehle se hi tanavpurna hafte mein aayi. Budhwar ko, US District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin ne nau rajyon mein gair nagrik matadataon ko dhoondhne ke uddeshya se Homeland Security ke kshetriya abhiyanon ko seemit kar diya, yah paate hue ki in abhiyanon ke peeche ki lakshya soochiyon mein sambhavatah trutiyan thi aur unme prakritik nagrik shamil the. Vah adesh sarkar ko appeal karne ka samay dene ke liye shukrawar dopahar tak sthagit hai, aur 3 November ko matadan band hone tak lagu rehne ke liye taya hai.

Kuch bhi aswikar na karne ka pattern

Blanche ka jawab ek aise pattern mein fit baithta hai jo mahinon se Democratic senatoron ki chetawaniyan kheench raha hai. July mein apni pushti sunvai mein, unhone matadan kendron par apravasan agenton ko tainat na karne ki pratibaddhata se bachaav kiya, iske bajaye yah kehte hue ki ve kanun ka palan karenge, Democracy Docket ne bataya. September mein, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin ne isi tarah Immigration and Customs Enforcement dwara matadan sthalon par giraftari ki sambhavana khuli rakhi. Blanche ke July bayan ke baad, ek darjan Democratic senatoron ne Blanche, Mullin aur raksha sachiv Pete Hegseth ko chetawani di ki chunav sthalon par agenton ko tainat karne ke prayas sanghiya kanun ke tahat avaidh hain.

Matadata mangalwar, 3 November ko madhyavadhi chunavon mein Congress ke niyantran ka faisla karte hain. Blanche ne guruwar ko apni tippaniyon mein kisi rajya ka naam nahi liya, aur unhone yah varnan nahi kiya ki vinashkari paristhiti kaisi hogi.
