President Trump removes the remaining Democratic commissioners from the federal Election Assistance Commission, according to multiple outlets citing confirmation from the White House. The commission supports states and localities with election administration under its federal election assistance mandate. The Hill reports Trump fires Benjamin Hovland and Thomas Hicks, the remaining Democrats on the commission. It also notes that Republican Christy McCormick resigns from the panel. Mediaite similarly reports that Trump ousts the three remaining commissioners on the bipartisan board, describing the commission as the entity that assists states and municipalities in holding elections. The announcements mark a shift in the commission’s membership and leave its future composition and ability to operate at full capacity subject to any subsequent appointments. The reports also indicate the change follows a period in which the remaining commissioners were already limited in number, making the board’s membership vulnerable to further turnover.
