Trump fires all Election Assistance Commission members, leaving agency unable to act

Trump fires all commissioners of federal election agency

"The firings leave the four-member commission with no commissioners, meaning it cannot take official action until new members are installed. They also come days after the Supreme Court granted the president power to fire leaders of independent agencies, weakening a legal framework that for decades had insulated bipartisan federal commissions from direct White House control."
