Trump terminates remaining members of Election Assistance Commission

Donald Trump has terminated the last three members of the Election Assistance Commission, an independent federal body that supports election administration across the United States. This action occurred just months before the midterm elections. The commission, which is bipartisan, had four members, and the remaining commissioners were removed in different ways: one Republican appointee resigned, while two Democratic appointees were notified of their termination via email from the White House presidential personnel office.
