flag FEC lacks quorum after commissioner departures, halting enforcement of campaign finance laws.

flag The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is unable to function effectively after losing its third commissioner, leaving only two members and no quorum to take action. flag With no four-member majority, the FEC cannot enforce campaign finance laws, investigate violations, or issue new rules, though basic data maintenance continues. flag The departures—Republican Trey Trainor’s resignation and the firing of Democratic Commissioner Ellen Weintraub—have raised concerns about political interference and weakened oversight. flag This marks the third time in a decade the FEC has lacked a quorum, undermining transparency ahead of upcoming elections.
