GOP 'power grab' in Wisconsin, Michigan angers Democrats

Following bruising losses in statewide elections last month, Republicans in Wisconsin and Michigan have responded with pushes to limit the power of Democrats who won those offices, as advocacy groups threaten to block their efforts with legal action.
The legislation in Wisconsin took a significant step forward Wednesday when Republican lawmakers passed bills that effectively kneecap the state's incoming Democratic governor and attorney general with measures that limit or eliminate their abilities to act on aspects of gun control, a lawsuit on the Affordable Care Act and various other state matters.
Republican lawmakers in Michigan are similarly attempting to shift authority from the Democrats recently elected as governor, attorney general and secretary of state, the first time the party will hold all three positions in nearly three decades.
The one-two punch is a blunt attempt by Republican lawmakers to maintain power, Democrats say.
"It's a power grab - clear and simple," Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said in a telephone interview. "It's literally going against the will of the public that voted for these officials just 30 days ago."
Republicans have said their push to sap authority from these offices - weeks after voters chose Democrats to fill them - is necessary to better balance power between the executive and legislative branches.

This is the problem I have with GOP “voter fraud”, we get caught at it. We never got good at it like the demorats did. And for the record, let me state that I completely support it as long as it’s prosecuted equally. Not to mention the whole system is spiraling into the sewer anyway. And last but not least, I live in broward county, so zero fucks given

... now that Funny ... good idea, deflect. :laugh:
 
What's going on in Wisconsin, YOU of all people should be celebrating.

It will assure that the will of the people can not be penned away by an incoming government, just because they can.

People vote, legislation is enacted. You want to change it, you go back to the people.
this should make sense to even liberals, especially to liberals

Obama did this on a grand scale with Obamacare, and look what it got us, a law, or "tax" as he now calls it that we can't pay for
 
[h=1]Michigan evicted its Republicans. Now they want to vandalize it.[/h]

From the Detroit Free Press:


[Scorched-earth strategy

If outgoing Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof (R-West Olive) and House Speaker Tom Leonard (R-DeWitt ) have their way, the three Democratic women poised to succeed Gov. Rick Snyder, Attorney General Bill Schuette and Secretary of State Ruth Johnson on Jan. 1 will inherit offices whose authority has been diminished by the GOP's legislative vandals.

The most conspicuous targets, so far, are incoming state Attorney General Dana Nessel, who beat Leonard, and Secretary of State-elect Jocelyn Benson.

Although the administration of state elections and the enforcement of campaign finance regulations are two of the secretary of state's principal duties, none of Benson's three Republican predecessors have shown much enthusiasm for reforms that would make it easier to vote or that would require dark money donors whose financial support plays an ever-expanding role in Michigan elections to disclose their identities.

Benson is an enthusiastic supporter of both initiatives — which explains the Republican Legislature's haste to circumscribe her statutory authority before she takes office. ........(more)

During Marathon Session, Republicans Pass Legislation Bringing Health Care Changes

If Walker Signs Bills, Some Medicaid Recipients Would Have To Work; State Would Remain In Lawsuit Challenging The ACA

Wisconsin Legislature Works Overnight To Approve Limiting Gov.-Elect Tony Evers' Power
After Raucous Hearing, Bills To Restrict Early Voting, Curtail Evers' Powers Move To Full Legislature
PHOTOS: Legislators, Protesters Descend On State Capitol For Lame-Duck Session

A set of bills rushed through the Legislature in a lame-duck session late Tuesday and early Wednesday morning will determine whether those on Medicaid have to work, and whether those with pre-existing conditions can get health insurance.

A bill that aimed to offer protections at the state level failed to pass during the extraordinary session. Another avenue to protect those with pre-existing conditions is also in peril if Gov. Scott Walker signs the legislation. Wisconsin is currently involved in a federal lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act. If successful, the multi-state challenge against the ACA could eliminate protections for those with pre-existing conditions.

On the campaign trail, Gov.-elect Tony Evers indicated that we could remove Wisconsin from that lawsuit. But under the newly approved bill, he would have to get approval to withdraw from the Legislature's budget committee, where Republicans hold a majority.

In another newly approved bill, Evers would also have to seek legislative approval before modifying a federal Medicaid waiver that would affect childless adults under age 50 who make less than the federal poverty level — about $12,000 a year. Able-bodied, childless adults would have to pay monthly premiums. They would also have to work or do 80 hours of community service a month to get health benefits.

Evers had said he was considering ending the policy sought by Walker, which was approved by the Trump administration shortly before the November election.

Republicans in the Legislature said during floor debate that the changes would restore a balance of power between the legislative and executive branches.

"The situation that we are sitting in right now if we do not pass these proposals is that we are going to have a very liberal governor who is going to enact policies that are in direct contrast to what many of us believe in," said Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester.

But Democrats said it shows disrespect to the institution.

"Republicans couldn't even wait 24 hours after the election to say they were planning to strip Gov.-elect Evers of his powers before he has even taken the oath of office," Assembly Democratic Leader Gordon Hintz, D-Oshkosh, said in a statement released after the session was over. ................................................

[h=1]Republican officials had early warnings of voting irregularities in North Carolina[/h]


BLADENBORO, N.C. — When GOP Rep. Robert Pittenger lost his primary by a narrow margin in May, he suspected something was amiss. ... The congressman turned to a group of friends and family who had gathered with him on election night at a steakhouse near Charlotte and blamed the “ballot stuffers in Bladen,” according to three people at the gathering.

Pittenger’s concern stemmed from the vote tallies in rural Bladen County, where his challenger, a pastor from the Charlotte suburbs named Mark Harris, had won 437 absentee mail-in votes. Pittenger, a three-term incumbent, had received just 17.

In the days immediately after the race, aides to Pittenger told the executive director of the North Carolina Republican Party and a regional political director for the National Republican Congressional Committee that they believed fraud had occurred, according to people familiar with their discussions.

GOP officials did little to scrutinize the results, instead turning their attention to Harris’s general-election campaign against a well-funded Democratic opponent, the people said. ... Their accounts provide the first indication that state and national Republican officials received early warnings about voting irregularities in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District, now the subject of multiple criminal probes.

The keyword in the Atlantic article is "allegedly". Let them do their investigation and then come on back and post the results.
 
There are zero instances of voter fraud. Every time we want to do Voter ID democrat party says there is no problem.
