ou’ve probably never heard of the US Election Assistance Commission (EAC), but President Trump just gave you a really good reason to learn who they are.
He actually just got rid of them all.
President Trump removed every remaining commissioner from the four-member agency. The entire leadership board is now empty, months before the midterm elections. Two Democrat commissioners were fired, one Republican commissioner was allowed to resign, and the fourth seat was already vacant.
Many will say this is just some run-of-the-mill DC housekeeping of a few rando bureaucrats. But once you understand what the commission actually does, the timing starts to look a lot more strategic.
The EAC doesn’t run local elections, count ballots, or declare winners. However, what they do is actually just as important. This group sits behind a massive chunk of machinery that guides American elections. It certifies voting systems, accredits the laboratories that test them, maintains the national mail voter registration form, develops federal election guidance, and oversees certain election funds.
