This is similar to Wisconsin and North Carolina.
Don’t say impeachment is an effort to overturn the election when you do this.
One party believes in democracy, the other does not. That's most important thing you need to know about American politics right now

GOP power grabs in Wisconsin and Michigan undermine the foundation of our republic. The whole idea of elections is they have consequences. Those who lose live to fight for the people’s vote another day. Trying to change the rules on your way out the door is a national shame

Michiganders passed a ballot measure to make it easier to vote. With their last bit of power, Republicans are working to dismantle this progress — again demonstrating that only one political party wants to make it harder for eligible Americans to vote. https://t.co/6ttvEERYGA

In the @washingtonpost, read this piece on the WI & MI power grabs by @ColbyItkowitz & @feliciasonmez. First quote: @Tony4WI's dead-accurate characterization of the power grabs as "a repudiation of the last election."https://t.co/EpdXfPDQvq

It’s not just Wisconsin.
After Michigan Republicans had their worst statewide wipe-out since 1938, the profoundly (and illegally) gerrymandered GOP State House and Senate have launched a smash-and-grab attack on democracy, workers and — even! — puppies.https://t.co/qPzgSqZ0N7
