Anti-democratic moves by lame duck GOP legislatures

Because the Dems care sooooo much about people of color?

If Republicans are so concerned about the self-determination of POC, then why do they go out of their way to prevent so many of them from voting?
 
 
This idiot was governor of a state for 8 years.

Kentucky Governor Calls Special Session to Go After Teacher Pensions Again

This “lame duck” period between the midterm elections and the beginning of the new year has already featured multiple Republican candidates for the role of Grinch. Kentucky governor Matt Bevin put in his audition yesterday by calling an instant pre-Christmas special session of the state legislature in order to cut public employee pensions. He waited until 4 p.m. local time to issue his call for a session to begin at 8 p.m. Monday, which didn’t give some legislators from the Western part of the state time to get there, even if they were waiting by their cars with bags packed.
 
 
Utah GOP shrinks Medicaid expansion, defying voters

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert on Monday signed legislation adopting a limited expansion of the state’s Medicaid program, defying voters who in November approved the full Obamacare program through the ballot.

Under the new GOP-written plan, Utah will ask the Trump administration for permission to implement unprecedented restrictions on the health coverage program for the poor, while insuring about 60,000 fewer people than the Obamacare expansion would have and initially costing the state tens of millions of dollars more.
 
That’s what happens when voters support Democrat ideals based on their religion but they’re locked into Republican politics based on their religion.
 
This fucking state is a shitshow.
