President Donald Trump may think he\u2019s found a Trojan horse to seize the midterms, but security expert Miles Taylor says that horse isn\u2019t riding off anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Trump fired all three remaining members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission on Thursday, abruptly disabling the only federal agency devoted to election administration at a moment when the president is working to warp federal voting rules. And Taylor said a captured EAC could conceivably begin Trump\u2019s dirty work under the direction of anti-democratic loyalists the White House plans to parachute into the commission.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s more, they could rewrite state-specific instructions on the voter forms to create registration traps and onerous requirements, confusing instructions, translation issues, and on and on,\u201d Taylor reasoned. \u201cSurely, the sycophants in Trump\u2019s orbit are thinking of other evil ways to manipulate the EAC\u2019s powers to steer the elections in Trump\u2019s favor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[But] here\u2019s where I get to tell you why their plan is doomed,\u201d Taylor added. \u201cAnd it isn\u2019t because I\u2019m a cock-eyed optimist. It\u2019s because a lot of very good lawyers out there are prepared to tear Trump\u2019s plan to shreds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor, who worked in Trump\u2019s Department of Homeland Security in his first administration before becoming a whistleblower to the administration abuse, said Trump must get the replacements confirmed by the Senate or install legally dubious \u201cacting\u201d appointments. And lawsuits are waiting for him as soon as he tries to circumvent requirements.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, whatever changes Trump makes to the EAC doesn\u2019t mean they can just start tampering with voter registration forms because the forms are protected by law. When former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach attempted to force citizenship documents onto the form a decade ago, Taylor said the Tenth Circuit shut him down, and the Supreme Court backed that decision up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThird, agencies can\u2019t just flip on a dime,\u201d said Taylor. \u201cUnder the Administrative Procedure Act, an abrupt reversal of decades of an agency\u2019s position \u2014 especially with no clear evidence of the \u2018voter fraud\u2019 it purports to solve \u2014 is the textbook definition of \u2018arbitrary and capricious. Courts have thrown out far less blatant reversals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Courts have already rejected Trump\u2019s other bids to unilaterally implement new restrictions. A federal judge in Washington permanently blocked Trump\u2019s 2025 executive order and its proof-of-citizenship mandate. And just two weeks ago, another federal court destroyed it in a suit brought by nineteen states. The judiciary, said Taylor, isn\u2019t \u201crolling over to let Trump hijack voting in America.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, for what it\u2019s worth, the plaintiffs are ready,\u201d said Taylor. \u201cI suspect lawsuits are being drafted as I write this. \u2026 groups \u2026 are probably preparing legal briefs this very morning. I know state attorneys general are gearing up, too. When I say that we\u2019re better prepared for these types of anti-democratic shenanigans than we were the last time, this is what I mean.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump may think he found a Trojan horse. What he actually found is a trap of his own making. Every action he tries to take to abuse the EAC will be met with resistance and tie him up in litigation as the clock ticks to November,\u201d Taylor added.<\/p>\n
