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 two Democratic members and forcing a Republican to resign, sparking fears among voting rights activists about his influence over election processes. This move has raised alarms about potential interference in the upcoming midterm elections, as critics worry it could lead to changes that favor the Republican Party. The commission's role in ensuring fair elections has been significantly weakened, prompting concerns about the integrity of future voting systems.
