With Donald Trump set to address the nation Thursday at 9 p.m. about supposed foreign interference in the 2020 election, Hawk revisits an Atlantic piece by Toluse Olorunnipa on a pattern that gives that speech context: Trump has been losing election cases in court, repeatedly, including before judges he appointed himself.
The numbers in the reporting are striking. The Justice Department has lost at least a dozen election lawsuits this year. Ten courts blocked efforts to obtain state voter data, and five of those judges were Trump appointees, including Stephanie Gallagher, who dismissed the DOJ's suit against Maryland. Judge Indira Talwani blocked much of the March executive order on mail-in ballots, writing that the Constitution does not grant the president any specific powers over elections. Even Amy Coney Barrett ruled that states may accept late-arriving mail ballots.
Hawk walks through the Fulton County warehouse raid, the stalled SAVE Act, the quashed DOJ subpoena, and the states voluntarily handing over voter data. The Atlantic's conclusion is that courts have been a solid bulwark, though Hawk remains worried, and closes by urging people to register and check their registration weekly.
