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

President Trump has dismantled the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, removing all its members, which has raised alarms among voting rights advocates. This move is seen as an effort to consolidate his control over election procedures ahead of the midterms. The dismissal of Democratic members and the resignation of a Republican member highlight the partisan nature of the decision. Such actions fuel concerns about the integrity and fairness of future elections, potentially affecting voter trust and the democratic process.
