Summary

Trump administration fires Democrat from Arkansas and another member of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. This represents direct interference with election administration infrastructure.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Demand congressional oversight hearing on EAC firings and legal review of removal authority; support litigation to reinstate commissioners.

Why This Score

Firing bipartisan election oversight commissioners is targeted capture of election infrastructure, weakening independent administration and setting a concerning precedent, though scale is limited to two officials.
