Crisis Deepens at the Federal Election Commission as Members Resign
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is currently facing a significant crisis, with its membership reduced to only two members, effectively halting its operations. The situation worsened with the resignation of the FEC vice chairman, who is now considering a bid for a House seat in Texas previously held by Chip Roy. Additionally, the FEC has canceled all public meetings until 2026 due to its reduced capacity. This turmoil was compounded by the resignation of another commissioner, leaving the agency in a vulnerable position and raising concerns about its ability to enforce campaign finance regulations.
