In #lameduck session, the WI GOP-controlled legislature worked under cover of night to strip the incoming Dem governor's power. This is a party w/o a popular mandate, empowered by gerrymandering & voter suppression. When a Dem still manages to win the move is to take their power.
In addition, the GOP is passing bills to strip voter rights. In WI, they're reducing early voting, which was declared unconstitutional by a fed judge 2 years ago. And in MI they're kneecapping an independent redistricting commission passed by popular referendum just last month.
