The GOP’s Laboratories of Oligarchy
Republicans in multiple states are using lame-duck sessions to disempower the Democrats who won in last month’s blue wave.
In November’s midterm elections, voters across the country handed the Democratic Party 40 House seats, control of multiple state legislatures, and an assortment of governorships and other state offices. Now, one month later, GOP lawmakers in multiple states are using lame-duck sessions to hamstring incoming Democratic elected officials, either by reducing their official powers or transferring them to Republican-led legislatures.
