Trump launches ‘pathetic power grab’ to derail midterms after firing election commissioners, voting groups say

Election officials are crying foul over President Trump's dismissal of members from an independent commission overseeing the midterm elections, labeling it a "dangerous" power grab that could undermine the democratic process. Critics argue this move is part of a broader attempt to sow distrust in the electoral system and derail the upcoming midterms. With midterm elections looming, this shake-up raises serious concerns about the integrity of the voting process and the potential for political manipulation. This purge could have lasting implications for public confidence in future elections.
