Trump fired the entire election watchdog right before the midterms
With the midterms right around the corner, Donald Trump decided the best way to prepare is to get rid of the actual people whose job it is to keep elections secure.
The U.S. Election Assistance Commission is supposed to be this quiet, bipartisan team that helps states keep voting secure and functional. Well, it was. Trump just cleared out the remaining members in one clean sweep.
Naturally, the timing is absolutely impeccable. Firing the country's main election oversight group just months before a major vote is certainly one way to keep things interesting. Democrats and voting rights groups are, of course, losing their minds, calling it a direct threat to the democratic process.
Nothing says secure and stable democracy quite like leaving the election-monitoring machine completely empty right before everyone goes to vote.
