Trump has fired the three sitting members of the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and will give a speech on Thursday July 16 to release newly declassified documents related to the 2020 Presidential Election. Congress created the EAC as part of the Help America Vote Act in 2002 to help States and local governments streamline and standardize election processes to avoid the kind of problems that forced the SCOTUS to decide the 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore.

This Commission plays a key role in testing and certifying the voting machines used by local communities to tabulate and count votes. Some observers, including Scott, think Trump plans to announce decertification of Dominion voting machines used in Georgia, Arizona, and other battleground states. With no members on the Commission, it cannot act to fix this.
