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

President Trump's recent actions have dismantled the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, sparking alarm among voting rights advocates. The commission now has no members after Trump dismissed two Democrats and a Republican resigned, leaving the GOP with no representation. This move is seen as a way to give Trump more control over election processes, potentially influencing the upcoming midterms. Such changes raise significant concerns about the integrity and fairness of future elections, especially as they come amid broader debates about voter suppression and electoral reforms.
