Trump fired all three remaining members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission on Thursday, abruptly disabling the only federal agency devoted solely to election administration at a moment when Trump has sought to reshape federal voting rules.
The two Democratic commissioners, Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland, were notified by email. “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as Commissioner of the Election Assistance Commission is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service,” the email said. It was signed by Morgan DeWitt Snow, deputy director of presidential personnel in the Executive Office of the President.
The third commissioner, Republican Christy McCormick, was allowed to resign, according to three sources within the agency. McCormick declined to comment when reached by phone. The agency’s fourth commissioner, Republican Donald Palmer, voluntarily departed the agency earlier this year to join the Heritage Foundation.
Don’t wish the death and slavery empire good luck, lol. Death to America.
There are two Americas in that country and I’m rooting for the better half.
Which half genocided Korea?
Let me guess, the ones out on the streets protesting for world peace? How cynical and disingenuous can you be.
It doesn’t matter if half the country feels bad whenever America does some horrible evil shit lol. The output is the same.
By that logic, the entirety of Russia should be put down since even if not all of them agree with Putin, Ukrainians are still being genocided. I bet you’d disagree with that one, mr. ml?
Yeah I don’t think their goal is to exterminate the Ukrainians. Looks like a proxy war between NATO forces and Russia to me.
If we wanna talk about genocide we should talk about Ukraine killing ethnic Russian speakers in its borders prior to the Russian invasion.
Plus Russia hasn’t invaded and couped dozens of countries around the world since WWII, leading to destabilization and death for millions.
Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, etc…
Do you mean the 9 people who were executed and later misreported? Are you seriously comparing that to mass killings of millions of people and endless war?
Like I said, cynical and disingenuous.
No, that’s not what I was talking about at all, actually.
Are you really trying to compare Russia to the tens of millions of deaths caused by the American empires domination of the globe since WWII?
Retard tankie “nooo actually Russia is different and cool!!!”
