A key federal election agency suddenly has no commissioners. Here’s why that matters

The Trump administration's recent purge of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission has left the bipartisan agency without any commissioners, a move that's raising significant concerns as midterm elections approach. The abrupt dismissals of the two Democratic members and the resignation of the lone Republican member leave the commission without any leadership, undermining its ability to ensure fair and secure elections. This alarming power play could erode public trust in electoral processes, highlighting the urgent need for bipartisan cooperation to safeguard democratic integrity.
