PHOENIX (AP) - U.S. 司法長官 William Barr 配達するd a broadside attack on mail-in 投票(する)ing Thursday, attacking the 過程 used by many Americans - 含むing the 広大な 大多数 of Arizonans - as 傾向がある to undue 影響(力) and coercion.

The 共和国の/共和党の also said that mail-in 投票(する)s impinge on the historic American tradition of the secret 投票(する), an attack 反駁するd by Arizona and other 明言する/公表するs that 許す 普及した mail-in 投票(する)ing.

Barr was in 不死鳥/絶品 to 発表する a 厳重取締 on methamphetamine trafficking that netted $43 million in cash seizures, more than 28,000 続けざまに猛撃するs of the illicit 興奮剤, more than 1,800 逮捕(する)s and the seizure of hundreds of guns. The 操作/手術 的d Mexican cartels that 密輸するd 麻薬s to major U.S. cities and then 分配するd them 全国的な.

But Barr spent the 大多数 of his time answering questions 関係のない to the 麻薬 破産した/(警察が)手入れするs and instead on the 不安 around the nation tied to racial 不正, his department´s 介入 in a 私的な 訴訟 告発する/非難するing 大統領 Donald Trump of defamation and on mail-in 投票(する)ing.

His attack on mail 投票(する)ing 焦点(を合わせる)d on 成果/努力s by some 明言する/公表するs, 含むing Nevada, to mail 投票(する)s to all 登録(する)d 投票者s as the coronavirus pandemic creates 恐れるs about in-person 投票(する)ing. The Trump (選挙などの)運動をする is 告訴するing to 封鎖する a 法律 passed by the Democratic-led 立法機関 in July.

But in many ways his attack was broader, hitting even 明言する/公表するs like Arizona, which 許すs anyone to ask for and receive a mail-in 投票(する). In the August 最初の/主要な, about 90% of 投票者s cast 投票(する)s by mail or at 早期に 投票(する)ing 中心s. About 75% are 永久の 早期に 投票者s and receive a mail 投票(する) each 選挙.

His comments follow Trump´s attacks on 早期に 投票(する)ing and his (人命などを)奪う,主張するs without proof that there could be 普及した 投票者 詐欺 in November. That´s にもかかわらず what 公式の/役人s in Arizona and other 明言する/公表するs that have relied on mail-in 投票(する)s say about the little 証拠 of fraudulent activity. 多重の 熟考する/考慮するs have also debunked the notion of 普及(する) vot er 詐欺 in general and in the 投票(する)-by-mail 過程.

Barr laid out the 伝統的な American 投票(する)ing method that he said was at 危険 - one filled with checks and balances and the historic secret 投票(する). Americans go to a 投票ing place, identify themselves, go into a 私的な 投票(する)ing booth and 示す a 投票(する).

"Those 対策 have been developed over the years 正確に because of 関心s of 詐欺 and coercion," Barr said. "And you can´t sell your 投票(する), no one can 脅迫してさせる you, no one can buy your 投票(する). And it 減ずるs radically the 危険 of 詐欺 when you have a secret 投票(する) that´s 組織するd the way we´ve had it 組織するd."

Barr said 投票(する)ing by mail 除去するs all those 保護s.

"There´s no more secret 投票(する), there´s no secret 投票(する)," he said. "Your 指名する is associated with a particular 投票(する). The 政府 and the people 伴う/関わるd can find out and know how you 投票(する)d. And it opens up the door to coercion."

He went on to say 投票者s could be coerced to cast their 投票(する) a 確かな way if they get a mail 投票(する), and said there might be 状況/情勢s where someone in a nursing home is 説得するd to let others fill out their 投票(する).

"And finally the fact that 投票(する)s are mailed out profligately the way they would be, many of them misdirected we know because of inaccuracy of 投票(する)ing 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる)s, there are going to be 投票(する)s floating around and collected," he said. The comment appeared to be 目的(とする)d at 明言する/公表するs who want to mail 投票(する)s to all 投票者s.

Arizona 国務長官 Katie Hobbs, a 民主党員 who is the 明言する/公表する´s 長,指導者 選挙 officer, slammed Barr for attacking what is a "10年間s-long history of 安全な・保証する and reliable 投票(する)-by-mail 手続きs" in Arizona.

"It is a shame that high-最高位の 公式の/役人s are (種を)蒔くing 疑問 in our democratic 会・原則s."
