ME News, July 11 (UTC+8): The White House confirmed on the 10th that U.S. President Trump has removed two current members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. Earlier reports said that on the 9th, Trump removed the Democratic members Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland, and accepted the resignation of the Republican member Christy McCormick; the other Republican member, Donald Palmer, had left earlier this year. By this point, all four seats on the commission are vacant. In a statement on the 10th, the White House said the president retains the right to remove relevant personnel, who may not be fully committed to ensuring the security of U.S. elections and that every lawful vote is counted. The White House statement did not provide specific reasons for Trump’s move. U.S. media reported that the commission previously rejected an executive order signed by Trump, which required voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship on the national voter registration form.
