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 alarm among voting rights advocates. This move effectively removes all commission members, raising fears that it could undermine the integrity of the electoral process. Such a shift could give Trump greater influence over upcoming midterm elections, potentially affecting voter turnout and election regulations. This action highlights ongoing tensions around election administration and its implications for democratic processes.
