Wannabe lookalikes  - Why are they really there?

The Michigan Legislature has the opportunity to repeal the law used  by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer during the first six months of the coronavirus pandemic without the threat of a veto.  The opportunity came after the Michigan Board of State Canvassers unanimously certified Unlock Michigan campaign's petition Tuesday that would repeal the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of 1945... "We're looking forward to the next and final step on this long road:  passage by the Michigan House and Senate of our initiative to repeal  this law so abused by Governor Whitmer," said Fred Wzsolek, a  spokesperson for Unlock Michigan. The petition had gathered more than the 340,047 signatures that were necessary to force action by the Michigan Legislature or a statewide vote on the law. Some Democrats expressed concern about the validity of some of the  signatures, but Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson ruled that they were  valid... Wzsolek said he expects the petition to move through the Republican-led Legislature quickly...

The Legislature is on summer break, but there is one voting session scheduled this week, during which the petition could be approved.  Keep Michigan Safe, a liberal group that disagrees with Unlock Michigan, called on lawmakers to oppose the petition. "We urge lawmakers in both parties to reject Unlock Michigan's  illegal tactics and corrupt conduct, which completely undermines the  integrity of our elections," spokesperson Mark Fisk said...  Whitmer used the Emergency Powers of Governor Act to declare and  extend a state of emergency during the earlier stages of the COVID-19  pandemic, which gave her broad executive powers. The Michigan Supreme Court  ruled Oct. 2 that Whitmer's use of the law to justify her actions was  not applicable to support the unilateral extensions of her original  emergency declarations.
