Summary
The bipartisan election commission, designed to oversee voting security and funding, has collapsed with all four members gone—three ousted in recent weeks, including a Republican resignation and two Democrats fired by email. As the current administration intensifies its grip on election processes, the Justice Department is sending warning letters to every state, threatening criminal charges for noncitizens on voter rolls. The DOJ is also waging legal battles to access voter registration data, claiming widespread fraud like duplicate registrations and dead voters, while states and election officials push back, arguing strict protocols prevent errors and that federal overreach is unjustified. This comes amid a Supreme Court ruling allowing late mail ballots and renewed efforts to pass restrictive voting laws—though Senate opposition makes passage unlikely.
