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

President Trump's dismissal of key members from the U.S Election Assistance Commission has left the body completely devoid of members, sparking alarm among voting rights advocates. This move is viewed as an effort to consolidate Trump's influence over the electoral process, especially as the midterms approach. The actions raise serious questions about the future of election oversight and the potential for increased political control over crucial democratic processes. This shift could have far-reaching implications for voter confidence and the integrity of future elections.
