The White House has removed two Democratic members of the Election Assistance Commission and accepted a Republican member’s resignation, narrowing the panel ahead of the midterms. The action follows a Supreme Court ruling expanding presidential authority over independent agencies and comes amid broader moves to shape election administration. Agencies warn officials of potential prosecutions for interfering with voting and residents are urged to ensure compliance with new election rules.
