Trump Pushes Out Remaining Members of Bipartisan Election Commission Ahead of Midterms President Donald Trump has struck another blow against democratic institutions as the November midterms loom.
The recent ousting of three members from the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) – including two Democrats and one Republican who chose to resign – has left the bipartisan agency in tatters.
The EAC's importance cannot be overstated. As a neutral arbiter, it sets standards for state voting systems and provides critical funding for election infrastructure upgrades.
