People of the lie: The Michigan Republicans who tried to overturn the election Detroit Free Press Editorial Board, Detroit Free Press © handout U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman, U.S. Rep. Lisa McClain and U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg.
It began with an outrageous lie: Donald Trump s baseless assertion that election officials in Michigan and other battleground states had conspired to conceal his landslide re-election victory.
Over the next two months, 28 of Michigan s most prominent Republicans federal and state lawmakers, appointed officials and party leaders waged an unprecedented campaign to overturn the election results.

LANSING, MI - Michigan Capitol politics in 2020 perhaps will perhaps be best defined by conflict over state power and COVID-19.
Legislative Republicans led by Speaker of the House Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, and Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clark Lake, battled Gov. Gretchen Whitmer all year on her legal authority to create COVID-19 legislation. They sued her administration, successfully invalidating her executive orders in the Michigan Supreme Court.
She countered with public health orders from the Department of Health and Human Services. Republicans passed bills to limit the timeline of those orders and want to create committees that can unilaterally suspend any rule or regulation from the Whitmer administration.

LANSING, MI - Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed a series a bills late Tuesday, including extensions to March 2021 on banning water shutoffs and allowing local governments to hold virtual meetings.
Senate Bill 241 is a moratorium on water shutoffs through March 31, 2021 to assist Michiganders during the COVID-19 pandemic. It would also require public water suppliers to strive to determine which households lack water service and make best efforts to restore it.
