President Trump Ousts Members of Federal Election Assistance Commission

President Donald Trump has ousted members of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission (EAC) through executive action. The EAC is responsible for distributing federal grants to states, testing voting systems, and maintaining national voter registration forms. This move is part of Trump's broader effort to expand White House influence over U.S. election conduct, following a recent Supreme Court ruling that granted the president new authority to fire members of independent agency boards.
