Can Trump Block a Loss
Donald Trump has no authority to cancel the midterm elections or overturn their results by unilateral decision. The states administer and certify the vote, courts decide legal challenges, and each chamber of Congress judges the elections of its own members. But Trump can cast doubt on the integrity of the vote, and his administration could use lawsuits and investigations to complicate or delay the certification of some results. In Alaska, the Justice Department sought to block certification of the Senate race result if Republican Dan Sullivan lost, citing the possibility that voters might confuse him with a candidate with a similar name. Writer Charbel Antoine argues that Trump’s remarks do not amount to announcing a plan to cancel the elections; the test will be whether such doubts turn into legal and procedural disputes that could delay the resolution of some races.
