In the continuing effort to further enshittify the timeline, the #GOP has decided the fix is in, and Trump ousted the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, with less than four months before midterm elections.
This is exactly what last month's Supreme Court ruling was designed to do.
When the Reckoning comes...and it will come...the Supremes will not be immune from Justice.
They are gearing up to steal the election. I suggest it might be a good time to stock up on essentials, and be prepared to go to the mattresses.

#Trump continues to fire anyone who's not a zealous supporter or deep-pocket contributor, as enabled by #SCOTUS. In this installment, he's basically emptied out the #ElectionAssistanceCommission leadership. That "independent" agency certifies voting machines, maintains the national mail voter registration form, etc.
Gee, why would he be doing that just a few months before a critical #midterm?

Trump Fires All Election Assistance Commission Members, Leaving Federal Election Agency Unable to Act
Just months before the 2026 midterm elections, President Donald Trump has removed the remaining members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), leaving the independent federal agency without the quorum required to carry out many of its responsibilities. (Reuters)
The bipartisan Election Assistance Commission was created by the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to help states improve election administration, certify voting systems, accredit voting equipment testing laboratories, and maintain the national voter registration form.
According to multiple reports, one Republican commissioner resigned while two Democratic commissioners were dismissed by the White House, leaving the agency unable to conduct official business until new commissioners are appointed and confirmed. (Reuters)
The move comes as election officials across the country prepare for the November midterm elections and has sparked debate over the future of federal election oversight. Supporters of the administration argue the president has the authority to appoint new commissioners, while critics say the decision could disrupt election administration and reduce public confidence in the electoral process. (Reuters)
The administration has not announced when replacement commissioners will be nominated.

#Trump seeks to mandate proof of #citizenship in #VoterRegistration
"Only about half of Americans have a U.S. passport, and only five states currently offer enhanced driver's licenses that show proof of citizenship."
By Jude Joffe-Block, March 26, 20251:09 AM ET
Excerpt: "#VotingRights advocates, however, warn outdated databases can erroneously list naturalized citizens as noncitizens. Past efforts by states to purge noncitizens from voter rolls have sometimes swept up eligible U.S. citizens.
"The executive order also seeks to stop states from counting mail or absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after by withholding funding from states that allow such ballots to be counted.
"Proof of citizenship requirement
"Ahead of the 2024 election, Trump and his allies made baseless claims about the threat of noncitizens voting in large numbers.
"The current federal voter registration form asks registrants to swear, under penalty of perjury, that they are U.S. citizens and eligible to vote, and to provide a driver's license number, state ID number or Social Security number. Those who attempt to vote illegally can face prison time, fines or deportation. Past audits and studies have shown such cases are incredibly rare.
"Yet Republicans have made requiring documentary proof of citizenship a policy priority. The executive order borrows heavily from the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the #SAVEAct, a Republican-backed bill. House Republicans have signaled that they intend to pass it in their chamber but it faces difficult odds in the Senate.
"The executive order shows #Trump isn't waiting for Congress. But legal experts say that he does not have the authority through #ExecutiveOrder to make such changes, and the order conflicts with existing #FederalVotingLaw.
"'It's illegal at many different levels,' said Sean Morales-Doyle, the voting rights director at the #BrennanCenter for Justice, a nonprofit that studies and advocates for voting rights. The order directs the #ElectionAssistanceCommission, a small, independent bipartisan agency, to make various changes, including to the federal #VoterRegistration form, but Morales-Doyle said the president can't tell that commission what to do.
"Requiring documentary proof of #citizenship would radically upend voter registration if such a mandate were to take effect.
"The order is explicit that applies to anyone who uses the federal voter registration form. What is less clear is if the order would also pressure states to require showing proof of citizenship with state registration forms, such as by #WithholdingFunds.
"The order only lists a limited number of ways to prove U.S. citizenship. The options given are a U.S. passport, an ID that complies with the #RealIDAct that shows citizenship or a military ID that shows citizenship. A fourth option is a valid government photo ID that 'indicates that the applicant is a United States citizen or if such identification is otherwise accompanied by proof of United States citizenship,' but does not say if a birth certificate would count."
