The Trump administration announced the removal of several members of the Election Assistance Commission. One additional official also resigned, leaving the commission without a quorum. The
agency, which oversees election administration, is now effectively unable to function. The moves occur as President Trump seeks greater influence over ballot counting for the upcoming midterms.
