FEC to be effectively shut down

Forums:

More news for those of you who believe Trump ought to be impeached, but are content waiting to "vote him out of office" in 2020: the Federal Election Commission is about to be partially shut down due to substantial vacancies. There are very few "adults in the room" (not just FEC), yet we're somehow going to weather the storm for 14 months without sliding further into the abyss???

Federal Election Commission Vice Chairman Matthew Petersen announced his resignation today. 

This means the agency that enforces and regulates the nation’s campaign finance laws will effectively shut down — something that hasn’t happened since 2008 — because it won’t have the legal minimum of four commissioners to make high-level decisions.
