Could this be Trump’s first step towards tipping the midterms in his favour?

The article reports that the final three members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), an independent body responsible for overseeing election integrity, have either resigned or been removed by President Donald Trump. One Republican appointee resigned, while the two Democratic appointees were fired via a White House email. This follows a pattern of dismissals, with one commissioner leaving earlier in April. The actions come amid a Supreme Court ruling that expanded presidential authority to remove members of independent agencies and as Trump pushes for increased federal oversight of voting processes ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. The White House claims the commissioners were 'not aligned' with ensuring election security, though critics argue the moves undermine the EAC's ability to function effectively. Democratic Senator Mark Warner expressed concern over the dismissals, emphasizing their impact on election integrity.
