For the same reason that charges can attract or repel each other through nothing,
magnets can attract or repel each other through nothing, (and masses can attract
each other gravitationally through nothing).
Electric and magnetic 'fields' can be felt at a distance without anything to help spread their
influence. Light and all other electromagnetic waves are the result of electric and magnetic
fields in space.
