The Federal Election Commission has lost its quorum following the departure of Republican Commissioner Allen Dickerson .

A quorum of four is needed for the agency to conduct most business, including holding meetings, issuing new rules, issuing guidance, voting on investigations, conducting audits, and fining violators of election laws.

Watchdogs have expressed worries that the agency’s paralysis could lead to cascading problems.
