Did any national Republican leader warn their voters Eric Holder was targeting governorships to control redistricting?

Not Trump, not Mitch McConnell, not Paul Ryan. We heard zip, zero, nada.

The stupid party strikes again.

The Detroit News reports here:

Voters Not Politicians, the group that spearheaded the [ballot] proposal in Michigan, may have started out as a grassroots campaign, but millions in outside money poured into the state — much of it coming from far-left advocacy groups and Democratic donors. Between July and October, Voters Not Politicians raised more than $13.8 million.

Eric Holder, former attorney general under President Barack Obama, led a national effort this year in Republican-controlled states to back similar measures that would strip redistricting from lawmakers — or at least ensure Democrats took control of legislatures and governorships ahead of the 2020 census. Michigan was one of 12 target states.
