In GOP's post-election power grabs in Wisconsin and Michigan, experts see 'disturbing' trend

Two years after North Carolina Republicans limited the power of its incoming Democratic governor, GOP legislators in Wisconsin and Michigan — in the wake of key midterm losses — pushed through sweeping changes to the governor's power, the judiciary and voter access.

Independent state government experts and political scientists warn that such power grabs foretell what could become a worrisome partisan trend: election nullification.

"Once you start down the path of diluting, obviating, nullifying the results of an election, it's very hard to pull back from that," Norman Ornstein, resident scholar at the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute, said.
