据多家媒体周四报道，唐纳德·特朗普下令解除了独立联邦机构“选举援助委员会”（Election Assistance Commission）的剩余三名委员 [1]。该委员会负责协助全美各地的选举管理人员开展工作，其职能包括维护邮寄选民登记表等事务 [1]。此次人事变动发生在中期选举前的几个月内 [1]。其中一名由共和党任命的委员选择辞职离开 [1]，而另外两名由民主党人任命的委员则收到来自白宫总统人事办公室的邮件通知，被告知将被解雇 [1]。这一系列动作引发了外界对即将到来的中期选举可能出现“混乱”的担忧 [1]。
According to multiple media outlets on Thursday, Donald Trump fired the remaining three commissioners of the independent federal agency known as the Election Assistance Commission just months before the midterms [1]. The commission is responsible for assisting election officials across the United States and its functions include maintaining voter registration lists for mail-in ballots [1]. One commissioner appointed by a Republican resigned from their position, while two commissioners appointed by Democrats were notified of their dismissal via email sent through the White House Presidential Personnel Office [1].
