Trump fires remaining election commission members before midterms

President Donald Trump has fired the last three members of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission (EAC) ahead of the November midterm elections. The commission, which helps states administer federal elections, had three Democratic members who were dismissed, and one Republican member resigned. This move effectively leaves the EAC without any sitting commissioners. The firings come as the country prepares for the 2026 midterm elections.
