Trump fired the remaining Democratic members of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission, a move critics see as a step toward tilting the midterms in Republicans' favor.

• Trump removed both Democrats from the EAC, the independent commission that sets rules to keep voting fair and prevent fraud.
• Both Republican members had already resigned, leaving Trump free to nominate replacements, who still need Senate approval.
• The commission is bipartisan, so the usual "illegal voters" argument does not apply here — its job is to help legitimate voters and block fraud.
• Trump is also pushing the Save America Act, which would require proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote and limit mail-in voting.
• The bigger worry: polls show Republicans likely losing the midterms, so gutting the commission looks like setting up ways to restrict who can vote.

Outlook: Watch who Trump nominates to the commission and what new voting rules they try to put in place before the midterms.
