Trump Dismisses Final Members of Election Assistance Commission, Stoking Midterm Uncertainty

TL;DR Summary
President Trump fired the remaining three commissioners of the Election Assistance Commission, effective immediately, via White House emails, leaving the national body that coordinates election information, certifies voting systems, and maintains the national mail-voter registration form in limbo ahead of the midterms. The removals align with his push to change mail-in voting, and it remains unclear how replacements will be appointed or when the commission will resume normal operations.
