Michigan: Former GOP Party Executive Director threatens recalls against Republicans who end-run around election bill veto

Former Michigan Republican Party Executive Director Jeff Timmer is threatening to lead a recall effort against State legislators who push to use a referendum as a way around the widely-expected veto of Republican-backed election bill that has been denounced by Democrats as a voter suppression effort. 

Under the law, Republicans can get a bit over 340,000 signatures in a petition, which would give them the right to go around the veto.

Timmer, a senior adviser to the Lincoln Project (one of the major efforts by the anti-Trump GOP members), said that he will push for the recalls against legislators. Michigan last had a recall against a state legislator in 2011, after which they changed the law to make it more difficult.
