You left out the last part of gringo’s sentence:
“I am reminded of the Democrat-controlled legislature in Massachusetts changing the rules for filling US Senate vacancies ~3 times in 2 decades, ”

So it’s 3-3.

But that’s a ridiculous measure. Look at what the Democrats have done with their total control in California to allow them to steal elections:

1. implemented motor voter to register illegals and low info voters.
2. passed a law to send ballots to eveyone by mail even if not requested. This allows paid workers to gather signatures from homeless for cigarettes and booze as was recently documented in Los Angeles. Among many other opportunities to cast illegal ballots.
3. Passed a law to allow ballot harvesting with union paid thugs going door-to-door to tell people how to vote and then to take only ballots with Democrat votes to be counted in weeks following election.

It’s also an example of Republicans doing what Democrats would do if they were in the same position—the position being that Republicans control the legislature and a Democrat is about to be sworn in as governor.

This is a statement that screams out for some data.

Gringo above cites “the Democrat-controlled legislature in Massachusetts changing the rules for filling US Senate vacancies…”

Off the top of my head, North Carolina Republicans did this when Roy Cooper became Governor not too long ago. Michigan Repubs are doing it now. And then we have Wisconsin.

3-1 “for” Repubs, so far.

Waal, if we’re being all realistic and stuff, the smart money says the Republicans will be busy passing the latest tax cut which will have to be repealed in a couple of years because they won’t cut spending, so the matter won’t be addressed. And, if it is addressed, the har-de-har public interest bar will keep it tied up in court until the Corruptocrats take back the legislature.

It has been allowed to metastasize until I doubt it can be ended. The process has to be changed. All mail-in ballots have to be verified before election day and they have to be received before election day. California is, of course, beyond control. Arizona has a GOP governor and legislature. This needs to be addressed where possible.

Ideally, distribution of postal ballots would be limited to servicemen and their spouses, U.S. government employees posted abroad and their spouses, college and university students living in campus housing (along with the occasional spouse thereof), and shut-ins. You might add some people in certain occupations to that list, like long-haul truckers as well as people residing in remote areas. The thing is, a grand total of about 1.6% of the work force are actually employed in inter-city transportation (most of them long-haul truckers), fewer than 1% of the population is traveling inter-city on any given day, and less than 3% of the population lives in areas of such low density that you’d have more than a 10 mile drive to the nearest polling place. The use of postal ballots for convenience is just gratuitous, and a danger. End it, don’t mend it.

Lawmakers were expected to vote early Wednesday morning on the proposal, after spending most of the night hammering out deals in private. The action comes just weeks before Republican Gov. Scott Walker is replaced by Democrat Tony Evers.

The proposal up for a vote would weaken the governor’s power to put in place administrative rules enacting state laws. It would also allow the Legislature to sidestep the attorney general and hire private attorneys. The Legislature, not the governor, would have the majority of appointments on the state’s economic development agency that Evers has said he wants to dismantle.

The power to withdraw Wisconsin from a lawsuit challenging the federal health care law would rest with a legislative committee, rather than the attorney general.

The proposal would also restrict early voting to no more than two weeks before an election.”

The bolded sections get my vote, and I’m happy with most of the rest of it (not a Wisconsin resident, of course), because I think I see what the Republicans are trying to do.
The blurring of lines between executive and legislative functions and prerogatives (not to mention judicial) is one of the biggest causes of the chaos in America today, but I am not entirely sure who is most on the wrong side of the line here.

It looks like the legislature wants to hold onto some of the pieces that ought to be on the governor’s plate, but doesn’t want to accept what he would probably do with them.

Divided government creates those kinds of problems.
As for the whining about “the election is over and it’s our turn” — cry me a river, Democrats.
