Trump ousts election commission members in latest push to reshape US voting process

President Donald Trump has dismissed two Democratic members of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission (EAC), while the Republican member resigned, marking another attempt to influence U.S. election procedures.

Despite these moves, experts argue that Trump's attempts to reshape voting rules have been largely blocked by courts, and state control over elections remains intact. Critics, including Democratic lawmakers, accuse Trump of politicizing the electoral process and undermining democratic safeguards.
