President Donald Trump fires the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, leaving the agency without commissioners ahead of the midterm elections.The White House cites a Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. Slaughter to justify the dismissals, with the White House Presidential Personnel Office terminating two Democratic commissioners after one Republican commissioner resigned.The commission certifies voting systems, administers federal election grants and runs the national mail voter registration form; critics including Senator
Mark Warner and Arizona Secretary of State
Adrian Fontes say the move undermines nonpartisan election administration and will disrupt state officials' work.
