Trump fires last members of election commission, inciting fears of midterm ‘chaos’

Donald Trump has terminated the remaining members of the independent, federal Bipartisan Election Assistance Commission just months before the midterm elections. The commission, which supports election administration officials nationwide and maintains mail-voter registration forms, saw its final three commissioners depart on Thursday. One Republican appointee resigned, while two Democratic appointees were notified of their terminations via email from the White House presidential personnel office. These actions have incited widespread fears regarding potential midterm chaos.
