All three remaining members of the federal body tasked with administering elections have been fired or resigned, Scripps News has learned.

Scripps News confirmed on Thursday that Democratic commissioners Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland were fired, while Republican Christy McCormick resigned her post.

The agency’s fourth commissioner, Republican Donald Palmer, resigned in April of this year. He later joined the Heritage Foundation.

There are now no commissioners remaining to lead the agency, which is a bipartisan board created to guide and inform states as they administer their elections. Its stated mission is “to help election officials improve the administration of elections and help Americans participate in the voting process.”

      No, the leadership hasn’t been replaced. There just is no commission.
