On Tuesday, following news that the Supreme Court had delivered a major win to President Donald Trump\u2019s attack on mail-in voting, a prominent biographer of the commander-in-chief took to social media to warn of a looming midterm \u201ccrisis.\u201d According to Seth Abramson, attorney and author of three bestselling books on Trump and his legacy of corruption, the idea that the president will meddle in the elections is not only likely \u2014 it\u2019s becoming increasingly probable every day. <\/p>\n

\u201cJust on a lark, I set up an LLM task to estimate the likelihood of the midterms experiencing a significant legitimacy crisis,\u201d posted<\/u> Abramson. \u201cWhen I set the task 9 days ago, the estimate based on major-media reports was 58 percent. An hour ago it was 68 percent. Today’s lawless SCOTUS ruling raised it to 80 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n

While many have forecast that Trump may attempt to challenge the midterm results or otherwise influence the outcome, some have presumed that his efforts would largely be stymied by the courts, as the White House has lost thousands upon thousands of cases over the course of the past 18 months. The latest Supreme Court decision detracts from such hopes. <\/p>\n

\u201cA month ago I would’ve said it’ll require a fake national emergency, bogus Insurrection Act invocation and tyrannical \u2014 localized \u2014 use of martial law for us to lose our democracy,\u201d Abramson continued. \u201cI felt those things would indeed happen by early 2029. I now fear SCOTUS plans to hand him America.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an emergency, unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump can move forward with his executive order, which according to the New York Times<\/u> \u201cdirected the U.S. Postal Service to help decide which voters should receive mail-in ballots. Under the executive order, the Department of Homeland Security will also create lists of U.S. citizens that the administration believes could be used to monitor voter rolls for noncitizens.\u201d While the decision didn\u2019t rule on the legality of Trump\u2019s order, it will allow it to proceed while its validity is challenged in lower courts. Whatever that outcome turns out to be, it will almost certainly be appealed to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s impossible for this lawyer to underscore how far from legitimate jurisprudence we are,\u201d warned Abramson. \u201cIf someone told me the zealots running our SCOTUS had been threatened with death or imprisonment if they didn’t submit to Trump, I’d tell you they’d be acting no differently if it were so.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Trump has asserted that mail-in voting is insecure and should be ended almost entirely, as Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) noted<\/u> in response to the Court\u2019s decision, \u201cTrump voted by mail eleven days ago. Apparently it\u2019s good enough for him, but he wants to take away your right to vote in the same way.\u201d She added, \u201cTrump\u2019s voter suppression order is about making it harder for Americans to hold him accountable \u2013 it is shameful that the Supreme Court is enabling it.\u201d<\/p>\n
