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

President Trump has dismantled the U.S. Election Assistance Commission by removing its Democratic members and forcing out a Republican, while the remaining Republican resigned in protest. This move has raised alarms among voting rights advocates who fear it could undermine election integrity and give Trump greater control over the electoral process heading into the midterms. The actions highlight a growing tension over election administration and could have significant implications for how future elections are managed and perceived.
