1. I have a hard time

believing that they would be able to get away with this.

2. You mean like stealing the Governorships

of Florida and Georgia?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. I don't know what happened in Florida

The State Legislatures in those states didn't install either DeSantis or Kemp into the office. They *won* the ballot totals even if it was hella sketchy in Georgia. The GOP installing Bevin into office- who has apparently lost by 5000 votes- without a REALLY good justification would likely not stand for long IMHO. And so far they haven't produced evidence of anything wrong with that election.

14. This would be different. Beshear won;they would put the loser of the election

in the Governor's office. I don't think they will do this but who knows with the evil GOP.

15. I just think

there is no low they can't sink to.

I mean look, they are enabling treason from the POtuS.

3. Dem. Won in minnesota and the gop took away govs power

On their way out the door. Did dems do anything about that?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. I think you're talking about Wisconsin

[Demovictory9]

5. Oops. Yes

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. I believe that Democrats did file a lawsuit(s) against the GOP power grab in Wisconsin

One lower court supported them, but another court (Wisconsin Supreme Court?) overturned the original ruling, so I'm not sure what the current remedy is, short of getting rid of more Republicans in the next Election and changing the laws.

8. Wisconsin GOP has politicized the Supreme Court and holds an advantage there

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is basically a partisan Supreme Court. When Scott Walker got caught coordinating campaign strategy with issue advocacy groups (ie dark money groups which can accept unlimited donations from people and don't have to reveal their donor's identities), the WI Supreme Court said that was okay.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. That's another problem that has to be addressed there for sure

10. a person is crowned, not coronated.

this is an error of English. please people write like liberals not republicans.

13. If you are going to compare DUers to rethugs

You better at least be correct about what you are saying.

16. just because it is used does not make it proper.

it is improper but will be used more and more until in 20 or 30 years will be considered proper, that is the way English works. The same thing will probably (though I hope not) to the present use of 's to make a plural of something. I hate it but it has become so used that someday our grandkids will think it is proper. Go back and read some things written in Shakespeare's day. the spellings will be almost unrecognizable to you. But some became commonly used and then became the proper usage.

12. They would have to make an unpopular Governor governor again ...he clearly lost and

the numbers won't change...I wonder if they will have the nerve to to do this.
