Ask yourself this… how is a failed minority party able to circumvent the law whenever they choose without facing any consequences? Are you suggesting that the Republican party gets to do anything they like? If so, maybe Democrats will be more powerful in a minority position. If we can’t stop them now will we be able to as the party out of power when they really ARE running the show?
I guess we can just sit back and watch them toss the rule book if you think that’s the best strategy. 
The last thing the Michigan GOP wants is people who count votes.

We have a reckless Republican party proceeding illegally.

Michigan Republicans Are Quietly Replacing Officials Who Certify Vote Totals
The real Deep State. Say goodbye to your choice, Republican voters.
Yes.
Now answer the question.
McSweeneys never disappoints.
Voting rights are sacred, the filibuster is not.
Oh, jeez, try to explain this to citizens who haven’t a clue.

One of the scariest events unfolding in my lifetime.
Given my time on earth, I figure I’ll be carried to the VA cemetery just about when our first autocrat takes office.

What is it about "Michiganders’?
I have family and connections from this state and the weirdest thing about them is they tend to never leave the state. They are stuck in this weird ‘border fence’ that deifies imagination. It’s like they are afraid to encounter anyone who might be different in fear their base beliefs might be challenged.
Michigan has lots to be proud of, but as a basic society, they are either BIG local union folks, or everyone else who tends to look down on the average worker. In my family, they are both and sometimes married to each other. But, they collectively are so anchored to Michigan and their narrow world thinking, any thought beyond their own narrative seems to beyond their scope.
Anyone out there, if you think or have experienced differently, please help me understand.
I struggle with their worldview but want to know more, so I can have a wider worldview.
What is it about these folks, other than hanging out at the bar 9 months out of the year, can provide insight to their thinking? Just askin’

Republicans (I call the Goobers) have completely rejected democracy. If there is an “election” it’s only fair if they win they say. That isn’t democracy, it’s immature spoiled child-like IDIOCY
IT’S FUCKING LUNACY
If some sort of voting rights bill isn’t passed soon we will cease to be America. And the goddamned filibuster will ensure we become a one party autocracy. That anyone would support trump is fucking lunacy.
If you think I am pissed off you would be correct.
I don’t know what Step 2 is but if we keep allowing the GQP to run roughshod over our Democracy, Step 2 will be to surrender ourselves to a one party Dictatorship under Trump, or something worse.
Satisfied?
Pretty sure from his attitude that he will only certify a gop win, facts be damned.
You’re right. It totalitarianism.
“So, the question still remains: does the residency requirement mean seven consecutive years immediately preceding the election or any given seven years?”
Oh, Arkansas. I won’t criticize you.
If you promise not to criticize President Biden.
Is Louie Gohmert a negative number?

Intellectually, not really.
First, stop drinking from @sniffit’s water glass.
