Election Commission Left Empty | Anchorage News

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission is now completely empty after the White House axed two Democratic commissioners, while Republican members had already quit — leaving a void in a bipartisan body created in 2002 to help states run fair elections. Activists warn this is part of a broader strategy to reshape voting rules, citing stricter ID laws and gerrymandering. Lawmakers call it blatant politicization, especially as midterms loom, while the White House insists it’s about election security. With no leadership, the commission can no longer support states — critics see it as a direct attack on election integrity.
