matplotlib set_major_formatter creating 2 plots

This excerpt from my code changes the value of the y axis labels from exponential to millions. Problem is it creates 2 figures. The first one is an x and y axis with no plot (and the scale of the x axis is used for the y axis as well), and then the 2nd figure is exactly what I want. It is a double bar graph.
I am guessing it has something to do with using f.plot.bar instead of plt.bar but I am not sure. I just want to get rid of the first figure than all will be well.
from matplotlib.ticker import FuncFormatter
def millions(x, pos):
'The two args are the value and tick position'
return '%1.1fM' % (x*1e-6)
formatter = FuncFormatter(millions)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax = tempg.plot.bar(y=['Republican2016Votes', 'Democrat2016Votes'], rot=0,
color = ['DarkRed','Blue'])
ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(formatter)
plt.show()

So why not remove the linefig, ax = plt.subplots()?

Silly mistake. Thanks. Bit of a learning curve but getting there.
