Wisconsin GOP legislative leaders are threatening to restrict the newly elected Governor Tony Evers.

(58,584 posts)Like the OP said, they tried this in North Carolina. Luckily the courts stopped them. With Repubs packing the courts, that is becoming harder and harder.
Repubs are trying to destroy the Constitution to seize and retain power.
