Trump guts election commission in move seen as increasing his sway over midterms

President Trump has dismantled the U.S. Election Assistance Commission by dismissing its Democratic members and accepting the resignation of its lone Republican, sparking alarms among voting rights advocates. This move is seen as an effort to consolidate Trump's control over election processes, potentially influencing the 2022 midterms. The shake-up raises questions about the future of election oversight and the integrity of the voting system, highlighting a growing concern about the administration's influence on democratic processes.
