I saw an article about this earlier, but its title was something along the line of, "Court orders redrawing of Michigan districts won by Democrats" or something equally misleading. Since most people just skim the headlines and don't read the articles (I skipped reading that article because that headline was holy shit bad) they will then form the opinion that the court undid a Democratic gerrymandering.
Michigan's Republican party voted to oust chair Kristina Karamo and elect a replacement. The vote was vastly overwhelming, 88%.
Karamo says the vote was illegal and she won't recognize the results. Her allies at the vote say it was done by the rules but also agree they won't recognize the results because reasons.
So they're doing the whole "really actually in charge" thing and it's just a matter of time until whatever is supposed to happen now happens, whatever that is.

By all accounts the Kamaro faction has no money, connections, or competency so I imagine the result will be MI GOP just kind of... ignoring them from now on?
And she's most famous for (still) not conceding her 2022 election so like wow what a surprise who could have predicted your sudden yet inevitable etc etc etc

That doesn't put them far behind the opposing faction, who just a few weeks ago had to start exploring what turns out to be a legally fascinating question: what happens to their candidates if the party files for bankruptcy during an election year.
District court judge Robert Jonker (Bush appointee) has refused to intervene in the fake elector cases, stating there is no compelling evidence of prosecutorial malfeasance.
A Republican state representative in Michigan, Rep. Matt Maddock, claimed on social media on Wednesday night that he had photo evidence of “illegal invaders” arriving at Detroit Metro Airport.
One of the two photos Maddock posted on the platform called X, formerly known as Twitter, showed an Allegiant Air plane. The other photo showed three buses. Maddock wrote: “Happening right now. Three busses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?”
He's done this before. Freaked out about antifa terrorist busses streaming into the Lansing area for the U of M-MSU game a few months ago. Dude seems to think George Santos is an aspirational story.

No, he's just the kind of racist with a more active imagination.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s (D) office has charged former state representative Lee Chatfield (R) — who was speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives in 2019 and 2020 — with 13 felonies after a lengthy investigation.
Local news site MLive reported that Chatfield and his wife, Stephanie, have both been charged with embezzlement, conducting a criminal enterprise and various other financial crimes. Nessel said the charges were filed as the result of a years-long investigation that began in 2021.
“Our investigation has uncovered evidence that Lee Chatfield used various different schemes to embezzle, steal and convert both private and public monies to fund a lavish lifestyle that a state salary could not possibly afford,” Nessel said during a press conference.
Nessel’s office uncovered the alleged crimes while probing both Chatfield’s campaign accounts as well as a nonprofit “dark money” organization called the Peninsula Fund. Both Chatfield and his wife allegedly used Peninsula’s account to pay for opulent vacations and excursions, including a $32,000 trip to the Bahamas, a family vacation to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and purchases of luxury items.
Including being a rapist:
Nessel’s investigation into Chatfield began after his sister-in-law accused him of repeated sexual assaults for roughly a decade, though Chatfield denied those allegations and described it as a consensual affair. Nessel credited her for being the catalyst of the investigation, but said the investigation into those allegations had been closed, saying “we cannot reach the appropriate proofs required as it relates to the allegations of sexual assault.”
