From Jonathan Bernstein:
The fact that some Republicans are still willing to take on Trumpism is important.
But opposing the anti-democratic tendencies of just one boorish outsider is only one step.
This brings us to North Carolina. Democrats in the state won the governorship and a state supreme court majority in the November elections. But before those candidates assume their positions next month, the Republican-majority legislature is meeting in a special lame-duck session to strip the power of those offices, especially over elections. The defeated outgoing Republican governor will presumably sign those bills.
