BlockBeats News, July 11th - The White House confirmed on the 10th that U.S. President Trump has dismissed two current members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.

In a statement sent to the media on the 10th, the White House said the president "reserves the right to dismiss relevant personnel who may not be fully committed to safeguarding U.S. election security and ensuring that every legal vote is counted." The White House statement did not give specific reasons for Trump's actions. However, according to U.S. media reports, the Election Assistance Commission had refused to sign an executive order proposed by Trump, which required voters to provide U.S. citizenship proof on the national voter registration form.
