8月7日,阿根廷足协发布公告,肯定了国际足联主席因凡蒂诺过去十年的工作,并支持因凡蒂诺继续领导国际足联。 A move by the Department of Justice to block Arizona’s election law HB 2492, seeking to stop non-citizens from voting, has triggered an angry reaction from Mark Brnovich, currently serving as the state’s 26th Attorney General.,"In addition to free rooms and transportation for those illegally entering our country, the DOJ now wants to give them a chance to vote," Brnovich was cited as fuming by Fox News Digita.,As the DOJ announced on Tuesday it had formally filed the lawsuit, calling the bill a "textbook violation of the National Voter Registration Act," Arizona’s AGquipped: "It's another round of Brnovich v. Biden. I will see you in court…again.",It’s another round of Brnovich v. Biden as his DOJ continues its attempts to undermine our election integrity laws. I will see you in court. Again.— Mark Brnovich (@GeneralBrnovich) July 5, 2022,“Arizona has passed a law that turns the clock back on progress by imposing unlawful and unnecessary requirements that would block eligible voters from the registration rolls for certain federal elections," said Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, in a statement.,She added that the DOJ would continue to “use every available tool to protect all Americans' right to vote and to ensure that their voices are heard.",The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division had already written to Brnovich in June to inform him the agency intended to file a lawsuit against the state over its recently enacted voting law.,The Justice Department argued this new legislation, signed in March by Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, violated the National Voter Registration Act, as it requires ‘documented proof’ of citizenship, such as a government-issued identification, like a driver's license, tribal ID or passport, to vote in federal elections.,The DOJ has pointed to the 1993 National Voter Registration Act to argue its case.,The Act “requires Arizona to ‘accept and use’ a completed and valid Federal Form to register qualified applicants to vote in all elections for federal office," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke stated in the letter.,"Such applicants need not provide additional documentation to prove their citizenship to be registered to vote in federal elections," she added.,‘Election Safeguards’,Mark Brnovich, however, on July 1 vowed to "defend this law to the US Supreme Court if necessary and defeat the federal government’s efforts to interfere with our state’s election safeguards, as I did last year in Brnovich v DNC," according to Fox News Digital.,GREAT win for the rule of law today. Title 42 is upheld by a federal judge.Our office will continue to do everything in our power to push back against the lawlessness of the Biden Administration. pic.twitter.com/WKQBXp6fXB— Mark Brnovich (@GeneralBrnovich) May 20, 2022,Brnovich, who is also running for the US Senate, added that it was "curious" that the DOJ "would use its resources to challenge a common sense law in Arizona designed to guard against non-citizen voting, while the Biden administration is simultaneously opening our borders to encourage a flood of illegal immigration.",He concluded by questioning whether the federal government was seeking to “undermine” the state’s sovereignty and “destabilize” the election infrastructure.,“I hope this is not your intention," Brnovich was cited as saying.,GOP Cites 'Skewed' Voting as Arizona Woman Pleads Guilty to Illegal Early Ballot Collection Scheme5 June, 13:20 GMT,The legislation recently enacted by Arizona comes as part of a push to stop non-citizens from voting.,Back in 2013, the Supreme Court rejected a bid by Arizona to require its voters to provide proof of citizenship in order to participate in federal elections. The ruling did allow the requirement for state elections.,Arizona is one of a swathe of key battleground states where Republican state lawmakers have been arguing the need for changes to voting procedures. The drive came in the wake of the November 2020 elections, which ex-president Donald Trump has repeatedly slammed as marred by voting “irregularities” that were wielded to “rig” the vote in favour of his rival – Democrat Joe Biden. He blamed manipulations involving electronic Dominion voting machines, as well as mail-in ballots in key swing states. However, state courts threw out Trump’ss complaints, citing lack of evidence.,As Gov. Doug Ducey signed the bill into law on March 30, he stated:,"Election integrity means counting every lawful vote and prohibiting any attempt to illegally cast a vote. H.B. 2492 is a balanced approach that honors Arizona's history of making voting accessible without sacrificing security in our elections."。官方公告关于支持詹尼·因凡蒂诺过去十年在国际足联的工作谨致最崇高的敬意:我谨代表阿根廷足球协会(AFA)及其执行委员会,致函尊敬的主席先生,并通过您向国际足联管理层表明立场:我们支持您过去十年间的工作,这项工作以全球足球事业发展、以及基于清晰、稳定、透明治理模式的机构稳健建设为核心主轴。就此而言,针对近期公众已知悉的相关事件,我们认可管理层撤回相关项目的决定 —— 该项目自提出伊始,在足球大家庭内部引发的不确定性远多于确定性。正因如此,管理层正视该过程中出现的错误,并在向国际足联211个会员协会发布的相关公告中致歉,此举值得肯定。将治理规范置于优先地位,是巩固国际足联与其会员协会、各洲际足联之间良好关系的核心基石。
