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

President Trump has effectively dismantled the U.S Election Assistance Commission by dismissing two Democrats and forcing a resignation, leaving it without any members. This move has raised alarms among voting rights activists who fear it could give Trump more direct control over election procedures ahead of the midterms. The commission, which played a role in ensuring fair voting practices, now lacks oversight, raising concerns about potential manipulation and the integrity of future elections. This action underscores the ongoing tension between the administration and those advocating for electoral transparency and fairness.
