A judge said the Department of Justice cannot have the names and phone numbers of election workers from 2020 in Georgia.

一名法官表示，司法部不能取得喬治亞州 2020 年選舉工作人員的姓名和電話號碼。

The government wanted a list of people who worked in the 2020 election. They said they needed this information to find the truth about the vote.

政府想要一份 2020 年選舉工作人員的名單。他們表示需要這些資訊來查明投票的真相。

Fulton County leaders said no. They said the request was too big. They feared that people would use the names to hurt the workers.

富爾頓郡的領導人拒絕了。他們表示要求範圍太大，擔心有人會利用這些姓名來傷害工作人員。

Judge William Ray agreed. He said it is too late to start a criminal case for the 2020 election. The law says the time for these cases is over.

法官 William Ray 同意了。他表示現在針對 2020 年選舉提起刑事訴訟已經太遲，法律規定這些案件的期限已過。

The judge stopped the request. He wants to protect the workers and the law.

法官阻止了該項要求。他希望保護工作人員並維護法律。

A federal judge has cancelled a Department of Justice subpoena that asked for the personal identification and contact information of people who worked or volunteered during the 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia.

一名聯邦法官已撤銷一份司法部傳票，該傳票要求提供 2020 年在喬治亞州富爾頓郡選舉期間工作或擔任志願者的個人身份及聯絡資訊。

The legal dispute began with a grand jury subpoena in April, which requested detailed data on the staff involved in the 2020 election process. This request followed an FBI operation in January where ballots and documents were taken from the county's election center. The Department of Justice asserted that the subpoena was a normal part of an investigation to find people with useful information, specifically mentioning concerns about whether electronic ballot images were properly saved.

這起法律爭議始於 4 月的一份大陪審團傳票，該傳票要求提供參與 2020 年選舉過程人員的詳細數據。在此要求之前，FBI 於 1 月採取行動，從該郡的選舉中心取走了選票和文件。司法部堅稱，該傳票是調查中尋找能提供有用資訊人員的正常程序，特別提到對電子選票影像是否正確保存的擔憂。

On the other hand, Fulton County officials argued that the request was too broad and was intended to help harass political opponents. Judge William Ray analyzed whether the investigation was still useful and if the legal time limits had passed. He determined that the request was excessive. Furthermore, he stated that any evidence found regarding the 2020 election would be legally useless because the statute of limitations for bringing criminal charges has already expired.

另一方面，富爾頓郡官員則主張該要求過於寬泛，且旨在協助騷擾政治對手。威廉·雷（William Ray）法官分析了該調查是否仍然有用，以及法律時限是否已過。他認定該要求過度。此外，他表示任何關於 2020 年選舉的證據在法律上都將毫無作用，因為提起刑事指控的追訴期已經屆滿。

Additionally, the court discussed how this disclosure would affect the community. The judge emphasized that releasing private data would likely cause a decrease in the number of people willing to work in future elections. He concluded that while the Department of Justice has the power to investigate, the grand jury process must be used to pursue actual criminal charges rather than as a general tool for collecting data without a clear legal goal.

此外，法院討論了此項披露將如何影響社區。法官強調，公開私隱數據可能會導致願意在未來選舉中工作的人數減少。他總結道，雖然司法部擁有調查權，但大陪審團程序必須用於追究實際的刑事指控，而非作為一個缺乏明確法律目標的通用數據收集工具。

The court has blocked the subpoena, citing the expiration of the legal time limit for charges and the risk of discouraging future election workers.

法院已攔截該傳票，理由是提起指控的法律時限已屆滿，且擔心會挫傷未來選舉工作者的意願。

A federal judge has invalidated a Department of Justice subpoena that sought the personal identification and contact details of individuals employed or volunteering during the 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia.

一名聯邦法官已撤銷一份司法部的傳喚令，該傳喚令旨在獲取 2020 年佐治亞州富爾頓縣選舉期間受僱或擔任志願工作人員的個人身份及聯絡詳情。

The legal contest originated from a grand jury subpoena issued in April, which requested comprehensive data on personnel involved in the 2020 electoral process. This request followed an earlier FBI operation in January involving the seizure of ballots and documentation from the county's election hub. The Department of Justice characterized the subpoena as a standard investigative progression intended to identify individuals with pertinent knowledge, specifically citing concerns regarding the preservation of electronic ballot images.

這場法律爭議源於 4 月發出的一份大陪審團傳喚令，要求提供 2020 年選舉過程中相關人員的全面數據。此請求是在 1 月 FBI 於該縣選舉中心沒收選票與文件的一次行動之後提出的。司法部將該傳喚令描述為標準的調查進展，旨在識別具有相關知識的人員，特別提到了對保存電子選票影像的關注。

Conversely, Fulton County officials contended that the request was disproportionate and intended to facilitate the harassment of political adversaries. The court's analysis focused on the intersection of investigative utility and the statute of limitations. Judge William Ray determined that the scope of the request was excessive and that any potential evidence gathered regarding the fairness of the 2020 election would be legally inert, as the statutory period for bringing criminal charges has lapsed.

相反地，富爾頓縣官員主張該請求不成比例，且旨在便利對政治對手的騷擾。法院的分析集中在調查效用與追訴期的交集上。法官 William Ray 認定該請求範圍過大，且任何關於 2020 年選舉公正性的潛在證據在法律上都已失效，因為提起刑事指控的法定期間已屆滿。

Furthermore, the court addressed the institutional implications of the disclosure. It was posited that the dissemination of such private data would likely precipitate a decline in the recruitment and retention of election workers. The ruling emphasized that while the Department of Justice maintains the authority to conduct inquiries, the grand jury mechanism—designed specifically for the pursuit of viable indictments—cannot be utilized as a general instrument for data collection absent a legitimate law enforcement objective.

此外，法院處理了披露數據對體制的影響。法院認為，傳播此類私人數據可能會導致選舉工作人員的招募與留任率下降。裁決強調，雖然司法部保有進行調查的權限，但大陪審團機制——專為追求可行起訴而設計——在缺乏合法執法目標的情況下，不能被用作一般性的數據收集工具。

The court has quashed the subpoena, citing the expiration of the statute of limitations and the potential for adverse impacts on future election staffing.

法院已撤銷該傳喚令，理由是追訴期已屆滿，且可能對未來的選舉人員編制產生不利影響。
