Republicans in key battleground states renew efforts to subvert democracy

In Michigan, a group of Donald Trump's supporters is working on a petition to mandate an outside audit of the 2020 election and establish a grand jury with the power to arrest election officials who refuse to cooperate.

In Wisconsin, some GOP lawmakers are trying to sideline a bipartisan commission that oversees elections in the state.

And Republican legislators from Arizona to Florida are planning to take up new voting restrictions in upcoming legislative sessions.

As a likely showdown looms in Congress this week over federal voting legislation, Republicans aligned with the former President are pressing ahead at the state level to change voting procedures, conduct partisan investigations of the last presidential contest and seize more control over the machinery of elections.

But they can make Democratic-leaning voters wait in line hours to vote, and if you get out of line to take a piss after polls close.... too bad.
