Rep. Mullin Condemns Trump’s Firing of Remaining EAC Commissioners
July 10 2026 Rep. Mullin Condemns Trump’s Firing of Remaining EAC Commissioners Home / Media / Uncategorized Washington, D.C. – Donald Trump just fired every remaining commissioner on the bipartisan U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) only months before the midterm elections. The EAC helps states run secure elections by certifying voting systems and supporting election officials. Gutting a bipartisan, independent agency this close to Election Day isn’t about improving elections—it’s about politics. Trump knows the American people are fed up. He has sent the global economy into a freefall, dragged the country into illegal and deeply unpopular wars, unleashed an inhumane immigration crackdown, and stripped healthcare away from millions of Americans. And instead of earning voters’ support, he’s dismantling the very institutions that help ensure free and fair elections. This continues his dangerous assault on our democracy, and every American should be alarmed by this corrupt attempt to weaken nonpartisan election administration. Our democracy depends on protecting the right of every eligible voter to cast their ballot in a free, fair, and secure election. ###
