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

President Trump has dismantled the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, dismissing two Democratic members and causing the remaining Republicans to resign in protest, which has raised alarms among voting rights advocates. This move is seen as an attempt to consolidate Trump's control over election oversight, potentially influencing the upcoming midterm elections. The shake-up underscores a growing concern about the integrity and impartiality of election administration amid Trump's ongoing challenges to the electoral process.
