The commission was a valuable resource, especially for states that didn’t fund their own election security measures, but, as I said, for the majority of the states, especially the swing states, this isn’t their first rodeo dealing with disruptions and interference in their elections.

It remains to be seen what the impact of the dissolution of the commission will have on the midterms.
