EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump has removed the remaining Democrat members of the Election Assistance Commission, leaving the federal election agency without commissioners as his administration pushes to tighten election security ahead of the 2026 midterms.
The move affects the only federal agency devoted solely to election administration.
Trump fired Democratic commissioners Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland on Thursday, according to Votebeat.
Republican Commissioner Christy McCormick was allowed to resign rather than face termination, three sources inside the agency told the outlet.
