President Donald Trump has fired several members of a bipartisan federal election commission, in a move seen as part of his efforts to reshape the US voting process and require would-be voters to document their U.S. citizenship before registering for elections. The commission's board of directors had resisted Trump's push, citing concerns over voter registration accuracy and disenfranchisement. Trump's actions are likely aimed at implementing his long-held goal of stricter voter ID requirements, which he claims will prevent voter fraud. The move is seen as a significant escalation in Trump's efforts to overhaul the electoral process.
