How to not have a democracy.

[aliseadae]

- Decide that at your whim you can remove elected officials from office and put your choice of individual or, if you wish, corporation in charge instead. (Michigan)

- Decide that some of the elected senators' votes will no longer count. (Wisconsin, where the state senate Democrats' votes are no longer being counted.)

It's not on budget.wispolitics.com (my favorite site for this kind of info), but I did hear that the democrats' committee votes would count, and they'll no longer be considered in contempt. Which is good.

I hope that's true.

It was reported by at least the AP, which granted does not mean it's actually true, but I think they're pretty decent. At least I'm hopeful.
