Warning! Things are going to be bad this midterm election. The Trump administration has fired the remaining commissioners of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), leaving the independent bipartisan agency without any sitting commissioners. The EAC doesn’t run elections, but it plays an important role by certifying voting systems, accrediting voting equipment testing laboratories, distributing certain federal election funds, and providing guidance to help states administer elections. Removing every commissioner from an independent election oversight agency raises serious questions about the future of election administration and the independence of institutions designed to support free and fair elections. Please get them reinstated as soon as possible. We need legislation that stop this from happening.
